Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. The brain's power is confirmed and touted every day in new studies and research. And yet we tend to take our brains for granted, without suspecting that those masses of hard-working neurons might not always be working for us. Cordelia Fine introduces us to a brain we might not want to meet, a brain with a mind of its own. She illustrates the brain's tendency toward self-delusion as she explores how the mind defends and glorifies the ego by twisting and warping our perceptions. Our brains employ a slew of inborn mind-bugs and prejudices, from hindsight bias to unrealistic optimism, from moral excuse-making to wishful thinking--all designed to prevent us from seeing the truth about the world and the people around us, and about ourselves.…

Paperback. Condizione: Fair. It?s the twenty-first century, and although we tried to rear unisex children?boys who play with dolls and girls who like trucks?we failed. Even though the glass ceiling is cracked, most women stay comfortably beneath it. And everywhere we hear about vitally important ?hardwired? differences between male and female brains. The neuroscience that we read about in magazines, newspaper articles, books, and sometimes even scientific journals increasingly tells a tale of two brains, and the result is more often than not a validation of the status quo. Women, it seems, are just too intuitive for math; men too focused for housework. Drawing on the latest research in neuroscience and psychology, Cordelia Fine debunks the myth of hardwired differences between men?s and women?s brains, unraveling the evidence behind such claims as men?s brains aren?t wired for empathy and women?s brains aren?t made to fix cars. She then goes one step further, offering a very different explanation of the dissimilarities between men?s and women?s behavior. Instead of a ?male brain? and a ?female brain,? Fine gives us a glimpse of plastic, mutable minds that are continuously influenced by cultural assumptions about gender. Passionately argued and unfailingly astute, Delusions of Gender provides us with a much-needed corrective to the belief that men?s and women?s brains are intrinsically different?a belief that, as Fine shows with insight and humor, all too often works to the detriment of ourselves and our society.…
