Forget space or the sea, the brain is the next great area for exploration - truly fascinating.

К сожалению, не заметил сразу, что автор поставил на поток штамповку лекций типа "Стареющий мозг", "Обучающийся мозг" и так далее.
Особых претензий к изложенному материалу нет - он честно и корректно описывает процесс старения, что именно меняется, что сохраняется и так далее.
Но видно что это начитано не потому, что "не мог не говорить" как происходит с гениальными лекциями, а потому что хотелось сделать серию лекций.
В принципе, и к издателю нет особых претензий - качественный материал от добросовестного ученого.
Но все же не рекомендую - невысокое соотношение потраченного времени и полученных знаний и просто удовольствия.

Really great! So much fascinating information and so well presented — interesting stuff, good delivery.
I concur with reviewer Laura, who noted that "there were a few face-palm moments, like when he referenced Ancel Key's seven countries study (which has been fully debunked), and when he recommended not eating too much fat to prevent a stroke (later showing that a high fat "Mediterranean" diet prevented stroke versus a low fat diet)."
Nevertheless, such moments were few and far between. I learned a lot and enjoyed every chapter/lecture.

This book is from the Great Courses series. Although the information was excellent, it was way over my head for medical knowledge and understanding. I started to give this book a 3* rating because I didn't understand half of what was being discussed. But as I am writing this review, I realized one of the recommendation was perform intensive study and learning into a field you have no experience. For me, this means medical discussions of the human brain.
I have read a number of other books like KEEP SHARP and the information provided in this book confirms the other material. As I am writing this review, I am thinking I judge too harshly with a 3* and perhaps it deserves a 5*. Let me say this … if you are in need of this type of knowledge it is great material as research and science is discussed in detail. A health brain is key to the quality of life. In the end, I will give this book 4*.
If I read this book again, it will be with a notepad and pencil by my side.

Great course, especially if you are worried that your forgetfulness is definitely a sign of Alzheimer's. Ha.
