From the first day the staff began work on MARVELS AND MYSTERIES OF THE HUMAN MIND, we felt an ever growing sense of awe. One by one, our preconceptions fell away, to be replaced by a sense of wonder. We came to understand that the mind is not one thing, or even the sum of its parts, but literally millions of things happening at once-and then a million more in the blink of an eye, and then a million more-all combining to make us who we are. MARVELS AND MYSTERIES OF THE HUMAN MIND explores fantastic new discoveries about the brain and the way it works. In a highly readable question-andanswer format-minus jargon-readers of all ages will gain insight into their own minds. How do we learn? Why do we forget? What makes us tick? MARVELS AND MYSTERIES OF THE HUMAN MIND is up-to date and authoritative, based on consultations with distinguished experts in psychology, brain physiology, nuclear medicine, anthropology and other disciplines. However, although you will find many checklists and how-to features, it must be emphasized that our purpose is only to inform and entertain. This book should not be used to diagnose or treat mental illness-that is the proper realm of professionals. Our hope is that in MARVELS AND MYSTERIES OF THE HUMAN MIND you will come to share our wonder and excitement. In Part I, The Mysterious Human Mind, find out how psychology began as a science, what actually happens during psychotherapy. In Part II, The Geography of the Brain, read how the brain is formed, how scientists watch it work. In Part III, Our Amazing Senses, discover why we sometimes see things that aren't there, how deaf people cope in a hearing world, what causes persistent dizziness. In Part IV, The World Within, learn how and when the human personality is formed, how creativity can be cultivated, how depression can be conquered. In Part V. The All-Important Family, explore the ways family traditions are passed along, how families shape a child's mind, whether opposites really do attract, how important sex is in marriage. In Part VI, The Outside World, consider the psychological ups and downs of school, sport, work and holidays; how we choose friends, why some people are good Samaritans and others are not. For easy access, every question is listed in the table of contents. As you browse through this book, note the many entertaining illustrated features, such as Classic Cases, Theorists and Theories, Perspectives (insights by distinguished thinkers on subjects ranging from ethics to emotions), and Did You Knows. ?A comprehensive index will lead you quickly to any subject of interest. Like the human mind itself, this book is a rich broth of marvellous facts and revelations. -The Editors. Size: 4to. Numerous Colour & b/w Illustrations (illustratore).…
