Inside the Brain: Revolutionary Discoveries of How the Mind Works

The brain and how it works has long been one of life's more intriguing mysteries. Ronald Kotulak, a reporter for the Chicago Tribune, explores some of the secrets of the human brain by marshaling the work of the leading researchers in the field. This book, the culmination of Kotulak's Pulitzer Prize-winning series, offers theories on how environment, diet, and a host of other factors affect neurological development. Among other things, the book offers groundbreaking evidence on how unhealthy surroundings foster serious imbalances in neurological chemicals and, in turn, unhealthy or violent behavior. Inside the Brain is essential reading for parents, those concerned with sociological factors on development, or anyone curious about the workings of the mind.
