" This is an amazing book about the human head, and since its chief stated purpose is to amaze, there can be no higher compliment. One needs to be warned at once that Tallis is a bit of a brainbox, so it isn't all plain sailing, style-wise. Having a medical and academic background (he was professor of geriatric medicine at Manchester University), Tallis is also a poet, literary critic and philosopher, and it is his unique ability to synthesise hard biological fact, wide philosophical inquiry and piercing poetic incontrovertibility that makes his book so original .... The mission of the book is clear enough, however. Tallis wants to challenge the prevailing notion of the brain as the lone site of consciousness (“the brain is absurdly over-rated,” he writes). Deliberately challenging the orthodoxies of our day, he wants to remind us of what an astonishing range of stuff goes on in our heads besides neural activity, because he sincerely believes that the brain's two excellent hemispheres don't add up to a whole world.
