Description
In seventeenth-century England, a group of bold physicians and thinkers challenged centuries of inherited wisdom to investigate the mysterious workings of the human body and mind. Their discoveries helped establish the brain as the seat of consciousness, transforming medicine, philosophy, and humanity’s understanding of itself. Combining vivid historical storytelling with clear explanations of science, this compelling account explores ambition, experimentation, faith, and the birth of modern neuroscience.
