Ian Mitchell presents a novel approach to understanding the brain and behavior. The anecdotes often refer to his wife's practice as a neurosurgeon, and there is a sense that the reader is sitting down over a cup of tea and chatting with the author. -- Alexander Sumich, reader in biopsychology and mental health, Nottingham Trent University, UK This is a great little book, which manages to be brief without being superficial and accessible yet maintaining scientific rigor, written in an entertaining narrative style. -- Andrew Young, senior lecturer in psychology, University of Leicester, UK

Author Information

Ian Mitchell is senior lecturer in psychology at the University of Birmingham, UK. He has published over 100 papers and book chapters on the neurobiology of Parkinson's disease, programmed cell death, social cognition, and the neurobiology of psychopathy. Mike Cooper is a British voice talent who left big-city life in London for a log cabin in the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina. Mike is recognizable from his years with the BBC World Service, and as the narrator of countless television documentaries. A disruptive influence in school, Mike's first break in narration came at age six, when his teacher realized he could tell the afternoon story better than her (and she could get a nap by way of a bonus). When he's not in his home studio, you'll find him enjoying hobby farm life and tending to two charming pet goats, named Baxter and Hazel.
