520    "A concise, elegant, and thought-provoking exploration of 
       the mystery of consciousness and the functioning of the 
       brain. Despite decades of research, remarkable imagery, 
       and insights from a range of scientific and medical 
       disciplines, the human brain remains largely unexplored. 
       Consciousness--the awareness of our own and others' 
       existence--has eluded explanation. Nineteen Ways of 
       Looking at Consciousness offers a brilliant overview of 
       the state of modern consciousness research in twenty brief,
       revealing chapters. Neuroscientist and author Patrick 
       House describes complex concepts in accessible terms, 
       weaving brain science, technology, gaming, analogy, and 
       philosophy into a tapestry that illuminates how the brain 
       works and what enables consciousness. This remarkable book
       fosters a sense of mystery and wonder about the 
       strangeness of the relationship between our inner selves 
       and our environment"--|cProvided by publisher.
