The author is both a psychiatrist and a lawyer who argues, quite rightly, that many of our assumptions about free will and individual responsibility must be drastically revised in the light of scientific discoveries about the brain. This is part of a larger debate that is going on within psychiatry, psychology and the legal profession.

Could revolutionize math learning In this highly readable book, Prof. Brian Butterworth (a cognitive neuroscientist at the University of London) argues persuasively for a new comprehension of the development and exercise of mathematical ability. Proponent of a separate center for mathematical intelligence, Butterworth nevertheless argues that the existence of a biological 'numerical center' means that nearly everyone has the ...             The Silicon Man (Cortext.)6 reviews Charles Platt Hardwired, 1997 Give this book to someone has never read sci-fi . . . and they will be hooked. I devoured Platt's volume on a recent vacation and enjoyed it greatly. Two non-sci-fi readers have read my copy and they loved it. This is a gripping tale that begs to be made into a first-rate movie.             Hardwired (Transformers, Book 1)24 reviews Scott Ciencin I Books, 2003 Out with the Armada---The Origionals are the best!!! Being a Transformers fan from the begining, I found that the book was awsome. I truley am into the original (or G1) Transformers, and thought the book brought them from their golden years and put them into "todays" events. I even liked how they threw in the human factor and made the story come more alive. I mean, big robots trampling all over the earth, how do normal humans feel about it. I ...             The God Gene: How Faith Is Hardwired into Our Genes32 reviews Dean H. Hamer Anchor, 2005 Entertaining, erratic To start with, the title is misleading. The important parts of the book are about spirituality (as in what Buddhists seek), which has little connection with God or churches. He does a moderately good job of describing evidence that he has identified a gene that influences spirituality. He makes plausible claims that spirituality makes people happy (that part of the book resembles the works of ...             Hardwired Leadership: Unleashing the Power of Personality to Become a New Millenium Leader3 reviews Roger R. Pearman Davies-Black Publishing, 1998 A probing exploration of leadership and the mind.

Chapters focus on six building blocks ...             Smarts: Are We Hardwired for Success?31 reviews Chuck Martin, Peg Dawson, ... AMACOM, 2007 Find out if YOU are hardwired for success...

For me, different reasons than most... I remember this book very fondly... It was an easy, exciting read, and I read it at the peak of the whole cyberpunk craze... I was playing the RPG Cyberpunk 2020, I was one of the few people I knew at the time that had a personal computer, and, the reason that the book was different for me, I lived in Tampa, FL... The book takes place there, at least for a while (been 20 or so years since I read ...             Hearts and Minds: How Our Brains Are Hardwired for Relationships4 reviews Thomas David Kehoe Thomas David Kehoe, 2003 Intriguing Ideas & Unique Perspective "If flirting were a car, the man has his hands on the steering wheel. The woman has her feet on the accelerator and brake pedals. He decides where they are going. She decides how fast." ~Thomas David Kehoe Dating is a journey into the unknown. Not only do you have to access your personal beliefs, you also have to equip yourself with dating knowledge. Men now expect a woman to call them part ...             War and Peace in the Global Village: An Inventory of Some of the Current Spastic Situations That Could Be ...4 reviews Marshall McLuhan, Quentin Fiore Hardwired, 1997 Lousy title, great book. If McLuhan hadn't been dead for almost twenty years, he could have written this book yesterday. He speaks to this moment in time. "We are all robots when uncritically involved with our technologies." He makes the point that we have met the enemy and they is us. He asserts that man has evolved beyond Darwin's limited concept of biological evolution, and we have evolved ourselves with our ...             Bots: The Origin of New Species (Hardwired)14 reviews Andrew Leonard Hardwired, 1997 Perfect for airplane trips It's well-written and treats the subject with respect, even if at times it is a bit lacking in technical details. A good overview of "computer programs which can travel".             The Medium Is the Massage: An Inventory of Effects22 reviews Marshall McLuhan, Quentin Fiore, ... Hardwired, 1996 My view of the world ... ... was profoundly influenced by this book. I read it about 30 years ago. I'm pleasantly surprised to find it still in print.             Slam4 reviews Lewis Shiner Hardwired, 1998 Make no bones about it - this is a modern classic 'Slam' is a fantastic book, criminally under-rated and deserves a wider audience, even a filmic adaptation. Imagine the energy of the flim Kids, mixed with the speculative sci-fi of J.G Ballard and the quirky humanism of say Jim Jarmusch, and you might be close. No book written in the last 15 years creates a better fratured suburban Utopia than Shiner's 'Slam'. Burn your Moody Ricks, because ...             The Artificial Kid (Context (San Francisco).)14 reviews Bruce Sterling Hardwired, 1997 It's the Def, Bruce! The only problem I had with this book is that the exclamation of "Death!" and/or "Thank Death!" was not slurred as in "That's the Def, man!" which is a common slang term heard on New York City playgrounds. Other than that, I was gripping the pages wide-eyed in fear for my life at whatever was going to happen next. For real.             Hotwired Style: Principles for Building Smart Web Sites15 reviews Jeffrey Veen Hardwired, 1997 If you can afford only one book... Having just completed a course in Web Design, and after mulling over a few dozen books in this field, I find that this book has the best advice on what works. It provides "hip" yet practical advice for laying out images and text for visual appeal and usability. One thing that has not been mentioned in the reviews here is that the book itself is well designed and laid out: electric, cool, yet ...             GURPS Ultra-Tech 2: Hard-Core, Hard-Wired Hardware (GURPS: Generic Universal Role Playing System) David L. Pulver, Dan Smith Steve Jackson Games, 1997             The God Gene How Faith Is Hardwired Into Our Genes Dean Hamer Doubleday, 2004             Burning Man (Hardwired)8 reviews Barbara Traub, Brad Wieners Hardwired, 1997 High school yearbook for freaks Let's face it, when they start making coffee table books about a really cool, artsy, ostensibly underground, non-commercial event, you know the writing's on the wall for said event's hip quotient. So needless to say, I had a real negative feeling about this book before I even looked at it. I was opposed to its existance purely on principal. "Wired is trying to make money off of Burning Man," I ...              search for books artificial, behavior, building, context, effects, eliminated, feedforward, francisco, grenades, hard-core, hard-wired, hardware, hardwired, hotwired, inventory, leadership, manifestos, millenium, morality, neuroscience, personality, principles, relationships, reveals, situations, success, transformers, ultra-tech, universal, unleashing books:    Kindle - Amazon's New Wireless Reading Device This is the future of book reading.
