OUR REVIEW

The brain and its nervous ramifications is one of the miracles of nature. Understanding how they act and function is not easy, much less to explain this to a child.

Portland Press continue with their collection of books where the great themes of science are made available for children. In a few pages, the professor of biology Steven Rose and student Alexander Lichtenfels explain to the youngest readers everything they'd wish to know about the brain.

This is, as usual, an eminently graphic work that explains the basic concepts with a great clarity and intelligence. The reader can even participate in an experiment on memory. This option is open to all people. You can read more about the Memory Game at:
