Product reviews for The Little Book of Big Stuff About the Brain

Dr Andrew Curran is a practising paediatric neurologist in Liverpool who is also committed to using his extraordinary knowledge of the workings of the human brain to make a difference in the educational experience of all young people. Ian Gilbert, founder of Independent Thinking has been working to bring the best out of young people and those who work with them, focusing on areas including thinking, learning, motivation and creativity. This "little book' is a very readable guide to how the brain has developed, how it works and the implications this has for everyday situations as well as for more formal learning.

It is amusingly illustrated and uses many instantly recognizable examples to bring these complex concepts to life.

I would strongly recommend this book to anyone who is interested in knowing more about how their brain actually does what it does, or wants to explain some of these concepts to students in an entertaining and imaginative format.
