The Mind by Richard M. Restak, MD, 1988 Combining neuroscience and psychology, an in-depth study of the mind's workings examines the brain's functioning and functions, probing such areas as thinking, language, mood, addiction, and the connection between mental and physical well-being. The Ring of Truth by Philip & Phylis Morrison, 1987 1st Ed/2nd printing An Inquiry Into How We Know What We Know In this book -- a companion to the six-part PBS series -- MIT physics professor Morrison and his wife, a teacher and science writer, embark on a historical adventure through the discoveries of the physical sciences: the puzzles of perception, Galileo and the telescope, early map making and navigation, modern geological exploration, and astrophysics and quantum mechanics. Each chapter seeks to answer the question: How has science enabled us to know about the world? This book will be of interest to science-minded readers of all ages. Highly recommended.
