How can we reconcile Shakespeare's account of human behavior and that of modern brain science? That's the central question addressed by a noted Glasgow chemist in this provocative, witty, and accessible discussion of conscious awareness, free will, and science. Written in a conversational style, this book introduces the general reader to the central questions of consciousness and brain science. Illustrated.
