About This Item
New York:: Scientific American Library, 1989.. Hardbound . BINDING/CONDITION: beige cloth; a Fine book, with a Fine dust jacket.. 9.5 inches tall by 8.75 wide . Bibliography, index. Beige endpapers. Description: The cover image is a reproduction of ''Flaming June'' (1895) by Frederick Leighton. Well illustrated in black and white and color. This is volume 27 in the Scientific American Library series. From the jacket blurb: ''Author J Allan Hobson recounts the new science of sleep and dreams for the general reader, giving us a coherent overview of modern sleep research [remember this is ca. 1989]. His approach is broad and interdisciplinary, combining knowledge drawn from studies of the brain (neurology), of the mind (psychology), and of behavior (ethology). Hobson first describes the technology that has given science the tools for an objective description of sleep, and then uncovers the cellular and molecular mechanism by which the brain regulates sleeping behavior. By contrasting the mental states of waking and dreaming, he also shows how sleep research contributes to our understanding of the physical basis of human consciousness.''
