Recenzii
'One valuable message of The New Brain Sciences is that in trying to understand the neurosciences, it is unwise to ignore the social forces propelling them.' Financial Times Magazine
'… anyone interested in psychology, biology or neuroscience should take the time to read it, as it's one of the best overviews around.' Focus
'… beautifully presented and very well edited. Every chapter is clear and accessible to a general readership … The coverage of topics is broad with no obvious omissions … Every reader will come away from reading this book with questions of their own. A strength of this title is the insistence, shared by all the contributors, that the social sciences and the neurosciences need to learn from each other, and that each ethical question needs to be considered in its social context. It is a simply wonderful book, and deserves to be the paradigm for work in neuroethics over the next decade.' The Lancet
'… this book is rather reassuring. Overall, this volume does much to combat various kinds of bad reductionist thinking.' Nature
'The New Brain Sciences is a stimulating book for anyone interested in how neuroscience may change our view of ourselves and affect our free will. It is controversial but thoughtful and packed with interesting detail.' Progress in Neurology and Psychiatry
