The Accidental Mind: David J.

The Brain’s Sense of Movement: Alain Berthoz; Giselle Weiss, Translator; In this erudite and witty book, neuroscientist Alain Berthoz describes how human beings on earth perceive and control bodily movement. In his view, the brain acts like a simulator that is constantly inventing models to project onto the changing world, models that are corrected by steady, minute feedback from the world.

Gillick; Muriel Gillick, a noted physician who specializes in the care of the elderly and in medical ethics, presents a panoply of stories drawn from her clinical experience and develops broad guidelines for medical decision making for the elderly. When are certain procedures too burdensome to be justified? What are unacceptable risks? Should family members serve as exclusive spokespersons for relatives who can no longer speak for themselves? Gillick's bold and personal prescription for medical care for the elderly calls for a change in the way medicine is understood and practiced as well as for changes in the institutions that serve the elderly.; Paperback 1996 / Hardcover 1998

Culturing Life: Hannah Landecker; How did cells make the journey from their origin in living bodies to something that can be grown and manipulated on artificial media in the laboratory? This is the question at the heart of Hannah Landecker's book. She shows how cell culture changed the way we think about such central questions of the human condition as individuality, hybridity, and even immortality and asks what it means that we can remove cells from the spatial constraints of the body and "harness them to human intention."; Hardcover 2007

Hearts of Wisdom: Emily K.

Memory, Brain, and Belief: Daniel L. Schacter, Editor; Elaine Scarry, Editor; The scientific research literature on memory is enormous. Yet until now no single book has focused on the complex interrelationships of memory and belief. This book brings together eminent scholars from neuroscience, cognitive psychology, literature, and medicine to discuss such provocative issues as "false memories," in which people can develop vivid recollections of events that never happened; retrospective biases, in which memories of past experiences are influenced by one's current beliefs; and implicit memory, or the way in which nonconscious influences of past experience shape current beliefs.; Paperback 2001 / Hardcover 2002

Needles, Herbs, Gods, and Ghosts: Linda L. Barnes; When did the West discover Chinese healing traditions? Most people might point to the "rediscovery" of Chinese acupuncture in the 1970s.

The Placebo Effect: Anne Harrington, Editor; A mere "symbol" of medicine the placebo nonetheless sometimes produces "real" results. Medical science has largely managed its discomfort with this phenomenon by discounting the placebo effect.
