Penguin Books, Ltd.

The book is an exploration of how this century is going to change not just the way we think, but also what we actually think with - our own individual minds. How will new technologies transform the way we see the world? At the beginning of the twenty-first century, we may be standing on the brink of a mind make-over far more cataclysmic than anything that has happened before. As we appreciate the dynamism and sensitivity of our brain circuitry, so the prospect of directly tampering with the essence of our individuality becomes a possibility.

Our individuality is under attack as never before. Two huge new forces new technology and the rise in fundamentalism are in their different ways combining to threaten the control of our own minds and so the whole way our society functions. We have never more urgently needed to look at what we want for ourselves as individuals for our children, and for our future society. This book will draw on the latest findings in neuroscience to show how far we are and can be in control of the development of our brains and minds and the actions we need to take now both to safeguard our individuality and to find the fulfilment which our current unfettered materialism cannot provide. All this inevitably poses many questions about human nature, our past, what makes us individual, the connection between the brain and the mind, what a society of fulfilled individuals would actually mean.all of which this book attempts to answer.

The Private Life of the Brain: Emotions, Consciousness, and the Secret of the Self

How does the human brain produce your private world? Critically acclaimed neuroscientist and author Susan Greenfield, who holds the prestigious position of Director of the Royal Institution in England, weaves together a thought-provoking examination of childhood experiences, primal emotions, such as fear and euphoria, and the effects drugs have on our personalities to probe the most intriguing mystery facing today’s scientists: How does the human brain create consciousness and a unique sense of self? In this absorbing, lyrical exploration, Dr. Greenfield presents a provocative new theory that treats emotions as the building blocks of our consciousness and provides an illuminating glimpse into the human brain that reveals the astonishing essence of who we are.

Susan Greenfield explores how the "human nature" of future generations could be on course for a dramatic alteration, arguing that the current revolution in biomedical science and information technologies will have a huge impact on our brains and central nervous system. She believes that the society in which future generations will live and the way they view themselves will be like nothing our species has yet experienced in the tens of thousands of years to date. At the beginning of the 21st century, we may be standing on the brink of a makeover far more cataclysmic than anything that has happened before. As we appreciate the dynamism and sensitivity of our brain circuitry, so the prospect of directly tampering with the essence of our individuality becomes a possibility.

The Human Brain: A Guided Tour (SCIENCE MASTERS)

Weidenfeld &Nicholson

The Internal workings of the human body may be familiar to doctors, but they are not generally regarded as attractive. However, this stunning book uses new imaging techniques to turn parts of the anatomy into full-colour works of art. The book is arranged in order of complexity. Beginning with Cells, the primary unit of the body and the building blocks of life, we move on to Tissues and Structures. These are made up of clumps of cells like muscle. The photographs then move on to Systems which comprise of more than one tissue type such as organs and glands. Organs and glands make up systems and it is the systems, like the circulatory and the nervous system, that regulate and make our bodies what they are. The final section is Brain and Senses. The brain uses different systems and tissues. The brain and the senses allow the human body to funotion in its environment and use all the structure mentioned above.
