Into the Silent Land: travels into Neuropsychology
This book although it sounds very boring, it is beautifully written. Yes it is crammed with knowledge that is beyond me, as of now, but it is still intriguing to read about. In the beggining of the book the author analyzes three individuals with three very unique mental disorders. Yes this is non fiction. The author attempts to run several tests on these subjects to determine where they are mentally, and if there is a way to reverse their disorder. "Despite the immediate displacement of some brain matter, loss of conscience was brief, as is sometimes the case with penetrating missile wounds He told the paramedics he was fine and had better get home now, but they saw brain stuff gelling his hair and put him in the ambulance. Soon the surgeons were working to extract the foreign body from the interior of Stuart's head, a process that also meant disposing of some adjacent brain tissue. Part of Stuart went with it." This is a short snippet of how the text is written. There are 4 more subjects who have similar things wrong with their brain.
It is truly very intriguing because I would like to major in psychology.
