This is a quirky little text about brain basics. It guides the reader through how the brain works, the science of sleep, how learning occurs, why we dream, and so on. It's a great introductory piece for anybody's who's interested in brain science. It is quite simple at times, but because it covers such a large range of topics, in-depth scientific detail would've likely been cumbersome. It has different kinds of articles to break up the prose, and there are even a couple quizzes to help the reader learn more about himself
I recommend this to anybody who's curious about the human brain which I know now, despite popular legend, does not weigh eight pounds.
