I felt that I wanted to cram it all in and found myself rereading passages so as to try and not forget them. That said, Bainbridge did a wonderful job of "dumbing it down" for the common person to read.

I felt that I wanted to cram it all in and found myself rereading passages so as to try and not forget them. That said, Bainbridge did a wonderful job of "dumbing it down" for the common person to read. With typical British wit, he takes on the heavy topic of the evolution of the central nervous system, and had me laughing hysterically without notice. Being a veterinarian, there is mention of all types of creatures and their brain constructs in comparison with the human brain. This was really a well written book. Beyond the Zonules of Zinn had a lot of potential. Bainbridge attempts to lay out the anatomy of the central nervous system, with heavy emphasis on the brain. Some parts of this work shined, especially early in the book. As it went on, though, the book got more and more heavy with the weight of a very detail-laden subject until it was too dense for me to penetrate. Part of the issue is that the subject is indeed very detail-laden, and without lots of study, it's hard to keep track of all the anatomical bits and pieces Bainbridge discusses. The book would have been substantially improved with more figures clearly showing all the named objects. At least then I could keep things straight in my head as I wade through his discussion of function and formation. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

In his latest book, Bainbridge combines an otherworldly journey through the central nervous system with an accessible and entertaining account of how the brain's anatomy has often misled anatomists about its function. Bainbridge uses the structure of the brain to set his book apart from the many volumes that focus on brain function. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
