Gazzaniga, a prolific author in the field of neurobiology, explains discoveries from biology, genetics, neuroscience and physics that contribute to the modern understanding of consciousness. Gazzaniga blends jokes and examples from personal experience into his formal presentation, and he succeeds in making this challenging topic accessible. getAbstract recommends his conceptual explanations to readers seeking to better understand neuroscience or themselves.
