The Great Brain Book: An Inside Look At The Inside Of Your Head
$18.95
I won't ruin the book for you by telling you how it ends, but I can say that the more I got into The Great Brain book the more I enjoyed it. A science book of this length is a bit daunting for me, let alone for a 12-year-old. This book, however, with a mix of clarity, pertinent background, and fabulous graphics engages the reader and holds his or her interest. As a former middle school teacher, I can't imagine too many students would read this book cover to cover for willing enrichment, but those with an interest in science will find this book quite satisfying. I see this book more as a classroom resource or reference for most youngsters.

As for me, I thoroughly enjoyed this book and am glad I stuck with it and finished the entire book. I like that the author not only gives us the anatomical facts but also includes interesting tidbits in the history of man's quest to understand the brain. My favorite chapters were the ones on memory and sleep. In other books the explanations of the stages of sleep put me to sleep. Newquist left me with an understanding and appreciation of the interaction between sleep and our brain.

If you're an adult looking for information about the human brain, don't be put off by the age designation of this book. It's of iterest to anyone from middle school on up. In my case, way up.
