In Evolution of the Learning Brain, Howard-Jones provides an accessible introduction to the evolution of the nervous system and brain - hoping, perhaps, to provide readers with a more accurate model of how the brain learns. Channelling the spirit of David Attenborough, he leads us through an evolutionary history of life on Earth, dropping into the timeline at various points to talk about what is happening to the brain and nervous system. - Nick Rose, TES

It is certainly worth reading and is likely to become `well-thumbed' as time goes on and it is referred to it again and again. - Professor Derek Bell, Learnus
