Not only a gifted actress, Rosamund Pike proves herself to be an exceptionally talented story teller. I’ve always loved this series, and found her narration leaving me on the edge of my seat.

Story
This pioneering account sets out to understand the structure of the human brain - the place where mind meets matter. Until recently, the left hemisphere of our brain has been seen as the "rational" side, the superior partner to the right. But is this distinction true? Drawing on a vast body of experimental research, Iain McGilchrist argues while our left brain makes for a wonderful servant, it is a very poor master.

This work covers a lot of material including neuroscience, history, philosophy, poetry and the arts. The work is very dense but incredibly well organized.
The narrator did an outstanding job.
