The Mind by Richard RestakMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
I noticed the reviews of this late 80's book which is much like a coffee table book are very contentious: praise or reviling. Well, it is dated and was very much for a mass audience. Restak is a practicing neurologist and neuropsychiatrist and this is a companion book to a PBS series, so it was a national bestseller for a national audience. With clips and allusions to the episodes, it would be nice to read along while taking in the series. However, I grew tired of trying to find it online, so I just read it as-is. It is an easy read and a broad, nearly breathless spectrum from animal intelligence to psychopaths to addition to brain damage to autism, etc.
