Book Description
Tol, a young man of mysterious ancestry, must learn how the human mind functions in order to destroy those who ́ve combined their naked brains with thirty-third century computers. Monsters in their arrogance and lust, these Minds rule the galaxy. They drive humanity to despair. After discovering his heritage, Tol battles with pirates, planetary rulers, a beautiful girl, and, most difficult of all, his own brain, before he can conquer the center of Imperial power. REVIEWS Mike Resnick, Hugo-winning and best-selling author says "MAN OVER MIND is an exceptionally promising first novel." Dave Foster, author and proprietor of Top Tenn Press says: "An exciting Read. I am new to sci-fi, but not to the study of human brain-power and its relationship to creativity. Dean Warren offers the reader a great story plus an even greater insight into how the brain works. Warren ́s hero Tol meets with event after event, each of which helps explain the brain ́s intricate function. Tol displays the mark of a born leader by using his tremendous, logical brain-power in deadly combat with its silicone counterpart. This book may, or may not, foretell human life in the year 3300, even so, it tells me that I have been missing something. I ́m becoming a sci-fi fan. The May, 2002 issue of the Midwest Book Review says: Dean Warren ́s Man Over Mind is a hard-core, well written science fiction saga about a young man pitted against horrible Minds, former human beings who merged their dissected brains with computers and reaped the power to rule the galaxy in utter depravity. The hero ́s fight takes him across space and time and against the workings of his own brain before he can challenge the dread nexus of the Mind ́s superhuman power. Man Over Mind is an exciting, whirlwind of an adventure tale and enthusiastically recommended reading for all SciFi buffs. Man Over Mind was selected as a finalist in the 2001, Foreward Magazine ́s Book of the Year Award, Science Fiction and Fantasy category! 10/1/2002 ScribesWorld.com said: MAN OVER MIND is an excellently written book. Mr. Warren has developed an intriguing world in which all human beings are subject to the whims of a machine ruler with no choice but to obey or die. He pulls one into the story as Tol confronts the lessor minds, learning their weaknesses and slowly developing a desperate plan. It is a very well done story and well worth reading.

Category : Psychology
Languages : en
Pages : 225
Book Description
Where do our thoughts come from? Do we all see the same blue? And how much is our eye really like a camera? The mind is the tool that sets humans apart from the rest of the animal kingdom, and the most crucial part of our very being – but what actually is it? From trying to decide whether or not we’re robots, understanding why some people commit acts of violence, to figuring out the art of persuasion; this essential guide to the inner workings of our minds explores the questions we really want to know the answers to. Making the complex comprehensible, this informative book provides a new insight into how our minds work and the role they play in modern life. Whether it’s pondering over why you’re usually right about everything, or discovering colour; Man vs Mind shows that you don’t need to be a psychologist to understand more about what’s going on up there!

With Man in Mind
Author: Constance Perin
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 208
Book Description
Although a responsible and welcome critical literature in the social sciences has in recent years been measuring the human costs of urban renewal and environmental degradation, telling the designer what to avoid does not necessarily enlighten him about what to do. The designers too have been transforming their attitudes, moving away from the rhetorical toward the socially aware and the scientific. The two groups are readier to meet now than ever before, and if they do so in the ways put forth in this book - with man in mind - then we will be better able to bring our environmental technologies into human service. With Man in Mind is not, however a handbook or manual of techniques, ready-made; it is instead an argument for changing the terms of our discourse about man and environment so that we can do interdisciplinary research on questions that matter. With the questioning of the ideas in this book, collaboration may finally begin.

Neuronal Man

Publisher: Princeton University Press
ISBN: 9780691026664
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 376
Book Description
Over the past thirty-five years, there has been an explosive increase in scientists' ability to explain the structure and functioning of the human brain. While psychology has advanced our understanding of human behavior, various other sciences, such as anatomy, physiology, and biology, have determined the critical importance of synapses and, through the use of advanced technology, made it possible actually to see brain cells at work within the skull's walls. Here Jean-Pierre Changeux elucidates our current knowledge of the human brain, taking an interdisciplinary approach and explaining in layman's terms the complex theories and scientific breakthroughs that have significantly improved our understanding in the twentieth century.
