Gallup, Dean Falk\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe've all witnessed this moment: a dog, a cat, or another animal reacting to its own reflection in the mirror, treating it as another animal to be played with or confronted. As human beings, we take self-recognition for granted, but this seemingly simple ability represents one of the most complex mysteries of neuroscience. \u003cem\u003eThe Face in the Mirror\u003c\/em\u003e takes readers on a lively tour of the neurological, anthropological, and psychological roots of self-recognition -- from the intricate network in the brain that enables higher primates to recognize their image to complex, self-related emotions such as humor, embarrassment, and jealousy that play a crucial role in our evolution and survival. From animals who share our ability for self-recognition to case studies of patients who no longer recognize who they are, the authors examine some of the latest evidence on a subject that has puzzled philosophers and scientists for millennia -- how do we know who we are?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eReview(s):\u003cbr\u003e“[Keenan] purges [scientific literature] of jargon, and explains in plain language the experiments investigators have performed.”\u003cbr\u003eThis engaging book…will delight readers curious about the mind and the scientists who study it.”\u003cbr\u003e“Fascinating … Keenan’s writing is breezy and conversational, and the book is exciting and fun to read.”\u003cbr\u003e“[A] remarkably clear book.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eISBN:  9780060012809\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e ","brand":"Ecco","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":41033960423630,"sku":"9780060012809","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0600\/7029\/7806\/products\/9780060012809_60a338db-5da7-4583-879d-84d0730378e7.jpg?v=1652151320","url":"https:\/\/pickwickbookshop.com\/products\/9780060012809","provider":"Pickwick Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
