- Consciousness, History, Mind and body, Senses and sensation
"A wonderful book-brilliant, unsettling, and beautifully written. Humphrey cuts bravely across the currents of contemporary thinking, opening up new vistas on old problems and offering a feast of provocative ideas. Nobody else brings such an astonishing range of knowledge to bear on these issues." -- Daniel Dennett
