THE FEELING OF WHAT HAPPENS

Neurobiology is the fastest moving and most disturbing of the medical sciences, upsetting as it does our traditional beliefs about identity, emotion, free will, and the mind-body connection. In this long treatise on consciousness, the connection between our brains and our humanity is viewed from every angle by a consummate professor of neuroscience who has a real knack for integrating complex ideas. Though the writing is dense, there's something about the author's purpose that feels intimate. George Guidall's steady reading brings out the author's humanistic intentions and makes the program work well as a listening experience, as well as an educational resource. T.W.
