Mapping the Mind by Rita Carter
3.0
I could see a bright eighth-grader getting a lot out of this book. The subject matter is fascinating, and the language is nothing if not accessible to a general audience.
That said, I was consistently annoyed at the numerous misprints and typesetting mistakes in my printing. Worse than a typo, the book refers to "Baysien" reasoning right after mentioning Thomas Bayes. For a detail-oriented person like me, this calls the whole text into question!
