A revelatory work.\"--Oliver Sacks, M.D.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe act of reading is so easily taken for granted that we forget what an astounding feat it is. How can a few black marks on white paper evoke an entire universe of meanings? It's even more amazing when we consider that we read using a primate brain that evolved to serve an entirely different purpose. In this riveting investigation, Stanislas Dehaene, author of \u003ci\u003eHow We Learn,\u003c\/i\u003e explores every aspect of this human invention, from its origins to its neural underpinnings. A world authority on the subject, Dehaene reveals the hidden logic of spelling, describes pioneering research on hiw we process languages, and takes us into a new appreciation of the brain and its wondrous capacity to adapt. According to The Wall Street Journal, \u003ci\u003eReading in the Brain: The New Science of How We Read\u003c\/i\u003e \"reveals how decades of low-tech experiments and high-tech brain-imaging studies have unwrapped the mystery of reading and revealed its component parts. . . . [Dehaene] never oversimplifies; he takes the time to tell the whole story, and he tells it in a literate way.”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis audiobook is masterfully read by James Gillies, and was produced and published by Echo Point Books \u0026amp; Media, an independent bookseller in Brattleboro, Vermont.
