Jean-Pierre Changeux’s Neuronal Man: The Biology of Mind has been spoken of
as the French counterpart to A Brief History of Time: much bought, much cited
and seldom read. Judge for yourself—a translated paperback version is now
available. Director of the Molecular Neurobiology Laboratory at the Pasteur
Institute in Paris, Changeux makes few concessions to the faint-hearted. One
chapter has 43 notes and he forces you to leap back and forth between chapters
for explanations. Published by Princeton University Press,
£12.95/$16.95, ISBN 0691026661.
