Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. No other life form on the planet has generated a brain like ours. How did a bundle of cells weighing just 1.2 kg give rise to conscious, self-aware beings capable of understanding time, language, mathematics and music, of exploring outer space and sequencing their own DNA? The answer to such questions is a 7 million year saga. How the Mind Changed is the definitive book on human brain evolution: a sweeping natural history. Beginning with the first primate brain and the rise of our present-day, large human brain, it will describe the remarkable origin of our species' most mysterious organ, how it has developed, and how it will change in the future. To study the brain is to study the essence of what makes us human. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting.

First North American Edition, First Printing. "An elegant and precise writer, Jebelli follows every lead for a cure with the panache of a detective novelist, giving readers much to hope for despite the devastation Alzheimer's has left in its wake. Based on his meticulous and wide-ranging research, he makes a convincing argument that Alzheimer's will be defeated in the decades to come. Jebelli analyzes every facet of Alzheimer's with personal empathy and scientific rigor, a combination that makes for entrhralling reading." -- Kirkus Reviews(Starred Review). "A fascinating quest at the frontiers of neuro-degeneration . and a moving, sober and forensic study of the past, present and future of ALzheimer's from the point of view of a neurologist who has lived with the disease, at home and in the lab, from a very young age. The story Jebelli tells illustrates the tantalizing mystery of Alzheimer's: it's both highly visible and agonizingly elusive . A timely analysis that might give comfort." - The Observer. "An accessible, diligently researched and well-travelled overview of a disease that is more deadly than cancer. Jebelli poignantly weaves the current science with the tragic stories of affected families, not least his own." -- Sunday Times. " "When I was twelve, my grandfather began to act strangely. It started with inexplicable walks. He'd leave the dinner table and we would find him, half an hour later, aimlessly wandering around the neighborhood. Before long, he didn't recognize any of us." Alzheimer's is the great global epidemic of our time, affecting millions worldwide - there are more than five million people diagnosed in the United States alone. And as our population ages, scientists are working against the clock to find a cure. Neuroscientist Joseph Jebelli is among them. His beloved grandfather had Alzheimer's, and now Jebelli has written the book he needed then - a very human history of this frightening disease. But In Pursuit of Memory is also a thrilling scientific detective story that goes behind the headlines. Jebilli's quest takes us from nineteenth-century Germany and postwar England, to the jungles of Papua New Guinea and the technological proving grounds of Japan, to America, India, China, Iceland, Sweden and Colombia. Its heroes are scientists from around the world - many of whom he's worked with - and the brave patients and families who have changed the way that researchers think about the disease. This compelling insider's account shows vividly why Jebelli feels so hopeful about a cure, but also why our best defense in the meantime is to understand the disease. In Pursuit of Memory is a brilliant, moving, eye-opening guide to the threat one in three of us faces now." -- from the inner front and rear jacket flaps.
