When do babies start to think?

Can you measure intelligence?
What is mental illness?
We know less about how the brain works than any other part of the body. In fact, some areas are a complete mystery. This book begins with a fascinating look at the current understanding of how we think, our emotions, memories and intelligence. It then goes on to explore what can go wrong, before concluding with a thought-provoking look at sensitive subjects such as suicide, and our attitudes to mental illness. Filled with colourful pictures and fact boxes, MIND AND MATTER presents information in a clear and interesting way.
