Gazzaniga, one of the most important neuroscientists of the twentieth century, gives us an exciting behind-the-scenes look at his seminal work on that unlikely couple, the right and left brain. Foreword by Steven Pinker.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn the mid-twentieth century, Michael S. Gazzaniga, \"the father of cognitive neuroscience,\" was part of a team of pioneering neuroscientists who developed the now foundational split-brain brain theory: the notion that the right and left hemispheres of the brain can act independently from one another and have different strengths.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn \u003cem\u003eTales from Both Sides of the Brain\u003c\/em\u003e, Gazzaniga tells the impassioned story of his life in science and his decades-long journey to understand how the separate spheres of our brains communicate and miscommunicate with their separate agendas. By turns humorous and moving, \u003cem\u003eTales from Both Sides of the Brain\u003c\/em\u003e interweaves Gazzaniga's scientific achievements with his reflections on the challenges and thrills of working as a scientist. In his engaging and accessible style, he paints a vivid portrait not only of his discovery of split-brain theory, but also of his comrades in arms--the many patients, friends, and family who have accompanied him on this wild ride of intellectual discovery.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Ecco Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/03\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780062228802\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 448\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.30h x 6.40w x 1.40d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal Prepub Alert\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/15\/2014 pg. 46\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/01\/2014 pg. 17\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/15\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/22\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2015 pg. 129\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eEntertainment Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/27\/2015 pg. 61\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times Book Review\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/05\/2015 pg. 30\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/01\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/15\/2014\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Michael S.
