Big Head is a fantastic book that will tell you everything you ever wanted to know--and a little bit more--about your head. From your mind, emotions and personality to the intricate workings of "The Limbic System"", superb illustrations by John Temperton make sure every subject is accessible. Bright, colourful pictures and imaginative transparencies, which children will love, allow you to peel away the mysteries of the brain one by one. But the real triumph of this book is its appeal--though it is aimed at older junior school pupils, teenagers and adults alike can learn from its wealth of simply presented information. A superb addition for the bookshelf, both at school and at home. (Ages 9 to 12) -- Lucie Naylor "
