Description
Take a fantastic voyage through the whorls and curves of the human brain, no miniaturisation required. Learn everything from how quickly you can possibly think (and that left-handed people think faster) to why being bad feels so good (yes, there's a biochemical explanation).Whether you're a fan of Scientific American's wildly popular 60-Second Science Podcast or just curious about science, you're going to love the tingly way your synapses feel after enjoying the same bite-sized science in The Instant Egghead Guide to the Mind.
