The Master and His Emissary by Iain McGilchrist

5.0

The Master and His Emissary is a brilliant, ambitious exploration of the intersection between brain laterality and the cultural developments over the millennia. McGilchrist's breadth of knowledge reveals (not to mention the approximately 150 pages of footnotes) his careful study and passion for this topic. I was overwhelmed by the clarity of his presentation and the implications for what he wrote about. For anyone interested in neuroscience, this is a must read.
