About this listen
Editorial reviews
Neuroscience is a topic as complex as the brain itself, but this audiobook from renowned neurologists and scientists Ammar al-Chalabi, R. Shane Delamont, and Martin Turner does an excellent job at distilling this expansive field into a concise, listenable audiobook primer. Prolific and charismatic audiobook performer Richard Aspel lends his rich and character-filled voice to this reading, infusing this scientific topic with interest and humor. Beginning with a history of the human brain and moving into a discussion of how it evolved, how it works, its anatomy, and the science surrounding observing the brain, this is a multifaceted and in-depth investigation of humanity's most important organ.
Critic Reviews
“An excellent introduction that explains some difficult concepts in a clear and entertaining way.” (Nigel Leigh – Professor of Neurology, King's College, London)
“This is a thoughtfully set out book that is more accessible than the Oxford very short introduction for the general reader.” (Scientific and Medical Network)
“A concise primer that summarizes the fascinating complexity of the brain in a memorable and refreshingly graspable manner.” (Robert Brown – Professor of Neurology, Harvard Medical School)
