The Accidental Mind: How Brain Evolution Has Given Us Love, Memory, Dreams, and God
You've probably seen it before: a human brain dramatically lit from the side, the camera circling it like a helicopter shot of Stonehenge, and a modulated baritone voice exalting the brain's elegant design in reverent tones... to which this book says: Pure nonsense.
In a work at once deeply learned and wonderfully accessible, the neuroscientist David Linden counters the widespread assumption that the brain is a paragon of design - and in its place gives us a compelling explanation of how the brain's serendipitous evolution has resulted in nothing short of our humanity.
Based on both research and practical experience, the authors of the book offer an alternative methodogical approach to landscape design and planning. The book focuses on issues arising in the Mediterranean region but the principles of the approach can be used as an appropriate theoretical foundation for ecological design and planning elsewhere leading to better sustainable practice and development.
