TERMINUS BRAIN : THE ENVIRONMENTAL THREATS TO HUMAN INTELLIGENCE
Author : Christopher Williams
This book deals with the human brain which is now at risk from itself. Like a terminus, it is an end-point of our environmental mistakes but it is also a starting point both for those mistakes and for correcting them. It is victim, perpetrator and healer of the adverse environmental change which impairs intelligence. This book, which offers a comprehensive global picture, is an interdisciplinary effort, ranging across the medical, social and environmental sciences, evolutionary theory, disability studies, education, law and ethics.
