Secrets of the mind

by A. G. Cairns-Smith

"How satisfactory and how complete is our understanding of the workings of the mind? What are the secrets of the mind? How many are there? And of what kind?"--BOOK JACKET. "Writing in a conversational style, noted Glasgow chemist and author A. G. Cairns-Smith discusses fundamental questions about 'mind and matter' which science is struggling to understand. The journey leads us to confront the "Great Enigma" - the nature of consciousness itself, and ultimately the question of free will."--BOOK JACKET.
