My First Book About The Brain

It is good book. If there were colors, it would have been a complete set.

Over priced product....not worth book for said MRP

My 5.5 y old son "devoured it" in just 3 days and now he is reading book about physics. I need to check the information accuracy but because it's book at very basic, small child level I hope it will be accurate. My son loved it, I bought him more books from this set.

I confess, I actually bought this book as an adult because of its intriguing delving into the physiology of the brain! I love how it actually describes and illustrates how the brain actually ''thinks.'' It not only describes what the brain does but *how it is accomplishing what it is doing. In addition, It's clever attention to detail in its drawings is very helpful in impressing certain brain features in the mind. The reason I honestly bought the book hands down was because I was able to preview page 13 where it was written, ''Message sent from brain: Bend!'' "Message sent to brain: Bent and touched leg! That is just awesome. That sounds very simplistic but, as a college graduate, I have never seen such a concept of how the brain thinks presented in such a forthright but fascinating fashion. Thanks Patricia! Now...I would just like to see a book such as this (addressing to even greater detail) the wondrous mysteries of the brain at an adult level. What worlds could not be unlocked through further study if the physiology of the brain or that of even the world around us were more readily presented in the engaging fashion in which the things are already made?

An interesting addition to the grand children's bookshelves. Interesting, informative and not too technical.

Science is so important, Dover breaks down complicated subjects into easy learning activities.

Nice for kids. Even for adults! Explain things in a easy way.
