Book Review: Great summary of new developments.
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is a great summary of developments in the new field of neuroplasticity. It was a real eye-opener to learn how so many of "long time accepted" concepts in medicine have been proven to be wrong. It is also encouraging to see how thinking people are able to continue to contribute to learning new ideas.Book Review: Incredible
Summary: 5 Stars
This is an incredible book with news from the frontiers of neuroscience. It is well written in a very readable style.
For many years scientists and medical practitioners considered that once we reach adulthood our brains abilities were fixed. This book documents discussions between neuroscientists and the Dalai Lama and his scholars regarding recent new understanding about the ability of the brain to change at any age.
Book Review: Minor Corrections
Summary: 4 Stars
The reviews here are in general substantially on target. The book does miss the target advertised by the title editors. (ie. This is not a how-to book) Oh wait. That is not how it's done. The book gets written and then the marketing people try to help it find a place in the market, shaping its position with title, color, designs, and testimonials. (OK the editors may sometimes commission and then guide the project towards a market. But I digress and confuse.)
To Amazon: The graphic for the book is incorrect and not consistent with the title accompanying it. It is confusing.(Just Deserts for title writers who can't make up their minds about how to position their book on "changing" minds?)
To the audio production team: Did you hire the editor in the middle of the recording? Did you not pay her enough to listen to the entire reading? My relief was enormous when the obvious voice-over edit of the word "Causal" was finally (and from that point on) pronounced correctly. (Track 7 of disc 3, I think) Every single time before that the word was mispronounced as "casual," I wanted to scream. (Heck, I was alone in my car, I did scream.) There really is a big difference in science as well as in the language.
To Ms. Eliza Foss (reader): Once someone pointed out your error, did you not want to admit that you had been mispronouncing "causal" during all of the prior recording sessions?
Wait? Am I blaming the wrong people? I did not purchase the print version. Is it possibly spelled wrong all those other times in the print version? OK so I'm picky.
