"Francis Crick has a talent for asking the right question and giving an astonishing answer. Out of all of the molecules in a cell, which ones are the source of all life? His answer revolutionized biology. Out of all the cells in the brain, which ones are the source of our soul? His search is a scientific mystery story of the first order, as high drama as the search for DNA. The Astonishing Hypothesis is a remarkable book by a remarkable scientist whose clarity of thought and playful spirit shine through on every page." ~Terrence J. Sejnowski professor of biology and neuroscience University of California, San Diego. / Forty years ago, Francis Crick, along with James Watson, made history with the diseovery of the strueture of DNA, forever ehanging our understanding of life itself. Now Criek is onee again at the frontier of scientific diseovery, tuming his attention to the mysteries of human consciousness. Bent on deciphering the complexities of the brain, Crick maps out the neurobiology of vision. The result is a cogent, witty, and riehly detailed analysis of how the brain "sees," and a daring exploration of some of the most fundamental questions of human existence: Do we have free will? What exactly is it that makes us sentient beings and different from other animals? Is there such a thing as a soul, or are we nothing more than an immensely complex collection of neurons? In this groundbreaking, provocative work, Francis Crick challenges the very foundations of current scientific, philosophical, and religious thought. Francis Crick is the British physicist and bioehemist who collaborated with James D. Watson in the diseovery of the molecular structure of DNA, for which they received the Nobel Prize in 1962.
