Publisher's Synopsis
The smell of a flower. The memory of a walk in the park. The pain of stepping on a nail. These experiences are made possible by the three pounds of tissue in our heads - the brain! ""Brain Works"" is a fresh set that demystifies brain anatomy and functionality for young readers. Well-grounded titles feature authors and a set editor who are all experienced research scientists, and a full-color format - with photographs, illustrations, and informative sidebars - that draws readers into the text. Each book contains a glossary, suggestions for further reading, related Web sites, practical examples, and references, providing ample opportunity for independent study.
