Summary:

This is a book about the brain, where they come from, how they've evolved, how they're structured and what we know about how they work.

Review:

This was fascinating. I always love a good, short science book that explains things in a way that's easy to understand.

The lessons in here were really interesting and I enjoyed slowly making my way through them all. Parts of this book corrected things I'd heard before and thought were right, which is great, and I also learned a lot of new things I'd never known before. 

The brain is complicated and complex, but the author manages to write in a way where everything is understandable. It doesn't go a lot into the deep, it stays very much on the most basic level, but for someone who is new to the topic, it's a great place to start.

What these kinds of books usually do for me is make me want to learn more about a subject, and that's exactly what this did. Really enjoyed it!
