			        		This companion volume to an upcoming PBS series presents an engaging introduction to the development of the human brain. The author of numerous books about the brain (e.g., Mozart's Brain and the Fighter Pilot), neuropsychiatrist Restak (George Washington Univ. Sch. of Medicine) has already demonstrated his ability to describe complex neurological processes in fascinating and comprehensible language. Here he uses interviews, case studies, and clinical research to explore five stages of brain development: gestation/infancy, childhood, adolescence, adulthood, and old age. With each stage, Restak focuses on sensitive periods of development, e.g., the acquisition of language. With later stages, Restak explores issues such as ADHD, drug and alcohol use, schizophrenia, stress, depression, and Alzheimer's. Plasticity is, according to Restak, the key to understanding the brain throughout its development. The brain can change and "retains the potential to establish new connections throughout our lives." This is good news for anyone who maintains a healthy lifestyle and engages in challenging mental activities. Recommended for undergraduate and public libraries.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great book!
*by P***H on September 12, 2013*

Very informative.  My 20yr old son had a Stage IV Glioblastoma Multiforme Brain Tumor in 2005.  Out of nowhere it came; no symptoms.  Today he is alive and well Thanks be to God's Divine Intervention and three great docs.After everything had settled down, I was able to go through this "great" book and understand how much damage this type of tumor can do and will do if left without treatment.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Worth reading
*by M***T on March 17, 2016*

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Five Stars
*by R***W on August 20, 2015*
