Doctors Quartz and Sejnowski show how both our noblest and darkest traits are rooted in brain systems so ancient that we share them with insects. They then demystify the dynamic engagement between brain and world that makes us something far beyond the sum of our parts. </p> <p> The authors show how our humanity unfolds in precise stages as brain and world engage on increasingly complex levels. Their discussion embraces shaping forces as ancient as climate change over millennia and events as recent as the terrorism and heroism of September 11, and offers intriguing answers to some of our most enduring questions, including why we live together, love, kill -- and sometimes lay down our lives for others. </p> 904806 2002 Liars, Lovers, and Heroes: What the New Brain Science Reveals About How We Become Who We Are total:15|5:4|4:6|3:4|1:1| 15 57 31 1 4 0 false false Thu Oct 18 20:35:26 -0700 2007 Thu Oct 18 20:35:46 -0700 2007 0 0 false false Mon Aug 10 20:46:46 -0700 2009 Mon Aug 10 20:46:46 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Tue May 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Thu Jul 16 12:21:24 -0700 2009 Thu Jul 16 12:21:24 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Fri Jun 26 08:03:45 -0700 2009 Fri Jun 26 08:03:51 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Wed May 13 01:33:48 -0700 2009 Wed May 13 01:33:48 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Mon May 11 00:42:02 -0700 2009 Mon May 11 00:42:10 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Thu Apr 30 21:20:44 -0700 2009 Thu Apr 30 21:20:44 -0700 2009 1 0 false false Fri Apr 17 10:04:39 -0700 2009 Fri Apr 17 10:04:39 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Tue Apr 14 01:40:41 -0700 2009 Tue Apr 14 01:40:41 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Mon Apr 06 22:03:54 -0700 2009 Mon Apr 06 22:03:54 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sat Mar 28 20:09:36 -0700 2009 Sat Mar 28 20:28:26 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Wed Mar 25 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Wed Mar 25 02:59:32 -0700 2009 Wed Mar 25 02:59:55 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sat Mar 14 19:34:15 -0700 2009 Sat Mar 14 19:34:15 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Wed Mar 04 13:04:26 -0800 2009 Wed Mar 04 13:04:26 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Mon Feb 09 15:19:46 -0800 2009 Mon Feb 09 15:19:46 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Mon Feb 09 13:49:58 -0800 2009 Mon Feb 09 13:49:58 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Mon Feb 09 11:03:06 -0800 2009 Mon Feb 09 11:03:06 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Wed Nov 26 06:30:47 -0800 2008 Wed Nov 26 06:30:47 -0800 2008 0 0 false false Sun Sep 07 17:54:19 -0700 2008 Sun Sep 07 17:54:19 -0700 2008 4 0 false false Sun Jun 01 10:59:44 -0700 2008 Sun Jun 01 10:59:44 -0700 2008 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=1049329
