-Titulo Original : The Brain That Changes Itself Stories Of Personal Triumph From The Frontiers Of Brain Science
-Fabricante :
Penguin Life
-Descripcion Original:
An astonishing new science called neuroplasticity is overthrowing the centuries-old notion that the human brain is immutable. In this revolutionary look at the brain, psychiatrist and psychoanalyst Norman Doidge, M.D., provides an introduction to both the brilliant scientists championing neuroplasticity and the people whose lives theyve transformed. From stroke patients learning to speak again to the remarkable case of a woman born with half a brain that rewired itself to work as a whole, The Brain That Changes Itself will permanently alter the way we look at our brains, human nature, and human potential. Review “The power of positive thinking finally gains scientific credibility. Mind-bending, miracle-making, reality-busting stuff...with implications for all human beings, not to mention human culture, human learning and human history.” -The New York Times “Brilliant...Doidge has identified a tidal shift in basic science...The implications are monumental.” -The London Times “Fascinating. Doidge’s book is a remarkable and hopeful portrait of the endless adaptability of the human brain.” -Oliver Sacks, MD “Lucid and absolutely fascinating. It satisfies in equal measure the mind and heart.” -The Chicago Tribune An utterly wonderful book-without question one of the most important books about the brain you will ever read; yet it is beautifully written, immensely approachable, and full of humanity. Its message is one of hope: it is not just our brains that shape our thinking, but our thinking that, very definitely, shapes our brains. -Iain McGilchrist MA (Oxon), BM, FRCPsych, FRSA author of The Master and His Emissary: The Divided Brain and the Making of the Western World “Two years ago, when the journal Cerebrum at the Dana Foundation in the US updated its list of great books about the brain for the general reader, it found there were already 30,000 brain-related books in English. Aided by scientific advisers and readers, it produced a new list - with The Brain That Changes Itself at No. 1.” -The Melbourne Age “Doidge turns everything we thought we knew about the brain upside down.” -Publisher’s Weekly “Brilliant...This book is a wonderful and engaging way or re-imagining what kind of creatures we are.” -Jeanette Winterson, novelist, Order of the British Empire, Guardian, Best Book of 2008 “Superb. Brilliant. I devoured it.” -V.S. Ramachandran, MD, PHD, Director of the Center for Brain and Cognition, Univeristy of California, San Diego, Author of Phantoms of the Brain “Doidge... is a master ... at explaining science to the rest of us. Doidge is the best possible guide. You don’t have to be a brain surgeon to read it, just curious about your brain. Buy this book. Your brain will thank you.” -The Globe and Mail “Readers will want to read entire sections aloud and pass the book on to someone who can benefit from it. [Doidge] links scientific experimentation with personal triumph in a way that inspires awe” -Washington Post “Doidge tells one spell-binding story after another as he travels the globe interviewing the scientists and their subjects who are on the cutting edge of a new age. It may be hard to imagine that a book so rich in science can also be a page-turner, but this one is hard to set down.” -Jeff Zimman, Posit Science, e-newsletter “The most readable and best general treatment of this subject to date.” -Michael M. Merzenich, Ph.D., Keck Center for Integrative Neurosciences University of California at San Francisco “A riveting, essential book… These stories are most emotionally satisfying. Doidge addresses how cultural influences literally shape our brain. [And]….our response to the world around us is not only a social or psychological phenomenon, but often a lasting neurological process.” -Montreal Gazette, Liam Durcan, MD, Neurologist & Novelist “A hymn to life.” -Panorama Italy “The Brain That Changes Itself...is without question the most important book of the year, and maybe t
