Recenzii
* 'Claxton's quest for the origins of the unconscious mind combines page-turning narrative with cutting-edge neuroscience. His ideas about how and why the brain creates our oddest experiences are both imaginative and credible. The book makes an important contribution to our understanding of what it is to be human' Rita Carter, author of MAPPING THE MIND and CONSCIOUSNESS *'Claxton's book stands out from the crowd. It is a work of terrific breadth ... And Claxton is a versatile and erudite exegete, as fluent at explaining Egyptian mythopaeia as neuroscientific theories of the ego' Robert Macfarlane, SPECTATOR *'Claxton provides a birds-eye view of the human unconscious, drawing from an impressive array of sources ... A captivating account of the ways in which the unconscious has entranced and intrigued thinkers throughout the centuries'SUNDAY BUSINESS POST *'With wit, weird tales and wonderful metaphors, Claxton illuminates the long dark history of the undermind' Susan Blackmore, author of CONSCIOUSNESS: AN INTRODUCTION and THE MEME MACHINE *'It is hard not to feel enticed by a book with such engaging opening words' Steven Rose, GUARDIAN
