THE LITTLE BOOK OF BIG STUFF ABOUT THE BRAIN: THE TRUE STORY OF YOUR AMAZING BRAIN
Book ID/图书代码： 03480508B20163
English Summary/英文概要： What it is, how it work, what it looks like, where it came from---it’s all here in this light-hearted and easy-to-read little book that will guarantee that you will never think about your own thinking in quite the same way ever again.
Whatever role you have in life, every action you undertake, every thought you entertain, every memory you hold, every hang up you possess, every quirk, foible, idiosyncrasy and knack, it’s all the result of chemistry and electricity working across a network of squidgy organic matter that you have helped shape throughout your life.
So, enjoy this little book about your amazing brain, but remember, as someone once said, ‘If our brains were simple enough to understand them, we would be too simple to understand them’.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 它是什么，它是如何工作的，它看起来什么样，它来自哪里——所有的答案都在这本轻松的简单易懂的小读物里，看完之后保证你不会再以原来的方式来看待你的大脑。
无论你在生活中是什么角色，你的每一个动作，每一个想法，每一片记忆，每一个癖好，每一个特质，都是大脑电流和化学物质在起作用，帮助你完成生活中的一点一滴。
所以，欣赏这本关于你神奇大脑的小读物吧，但是记住，正如某人曾经说过，“如果我们的大脑简单到我们可以轻易的去理解他们，那么我们就会因为思维简单而难以理解他们”。(YHL)
Awards/获奖情况：This is a brilliant book which is essential reading for all teachers and parents. It would be an excellent book to leave for parents to browse through in the school reception area. The sections on learning are excellent, but I would particularly recommend the section on behaviour to all teachers, mentors and support workers. This is another inspiring addition to a great series which brings learning down to a level of enjoyment and practical understanding.---John T Morris BA,MEd, MPhil,DipPsych,CertEd, Director, Teifi Training Education Consultants
Andrew Curran is a practising paediatric neurologist in Liverpool who is also committed to using his extraordinary knowledge of the workings of the human brain to make a difference in the educational experience of all young people. Ian Gilbert, founder of Independent Thinking has been working to bring the best out of young people and those who work with them, focusing on areas including thinking, learning, motivation and creativity. This little book is a very readable guide to how the brain has developed, how it works and the implications this has for everyday situations as well as for more formal learning. It is amusingly illustrated and uses many instantly recognizable examples to bring these complex concepts to life. I would strongly recommend this book to anyone who is interested in knowing more about how their brain actually does what it does, or wants to explain some of these concepts to students in an entertaining and imaginative format.---Mary Mountstephen MA (SEN), Associate Editor, SEN Magazine
