Michael S. Gazzaniga Who's in Charge?

"Big questions are Gazzaniga's stock in trade." -- New York Times "Gazzaniga is one of the most brilliant experimental neuroscientists in the world." --Tom Wolfe "Gazzaniga stands as a giant among neuroscientists, for both the quality of his research and his ability to communicate it to a general public with infectious enthusiasm." --Robert Bazell, Chief Science Correspondent, NBC News The author of Human , Michael S. Gazzaniga has been called the "father of cognitive neuroscience." In his remarkable book, Who's in Charge?, he makes a powerful and provocative argument that counters the common wisdom that our lives are wholly determined by physical processes we cannot control. His well-reasoned case against the idea that we live in a "determined" world is fascinating and liberating, solidifying his place among the likes of Oliver Sacks, Antonio Damasio, V.S. Ramachandran, and other bestselling science authors exploring the mysteries of the human brain.
