by Edelman, Gerald M

  • Used

We are on the brink of understanding ancient mysteries: how we know, what governs our nature, what makes a person different from a thing. Now one of the world's foremost brain scientists gives us a glimpse of the revolution in neuroscience that has led to this understanding and examines the implications for philosophy, curing mental disease, and building conscious artifacts. Photographs.

We have a very active online inventory and as such, we can receive multiple orders for the same item. We fill those orders on a first come first serve basis, but will refund promptly any items that are out of stock. Since 1980 it has always been about the books. ALL kinds of books from 95 cent children\'s paperbacks to five figure rare and collectibles. A merging of the old and new is where we started, and it is where we are today. Our retail stores have always been places where a reader can rush in looking for a title needed for a term paper that is due the next day, or where bibliophiles can get lost \"in the stacks\" for as long as they wish. In 2002 USAToday recognized us as \"1 of 10 Great Old Bookstores\", and we have been featured in numerous other newspaper and TV stories including Washington Post and CSpan.
