About This Item
Hoffmann + Campe Vlg GmbH. Fine+ in Fine+ dust jacket. 2005. First Edition. Hardcover. 3455095216 . Now in a removable archival protective mylar clear cover. Text in German. "As in the brain, something like thought and spirit? Where is this complex structure - the most complex of the universe - the seat of the soul? An instructive, exciting and funny book about basic questions of human existence. When Lord Byron's brain 1824 lay on the autopsy table, it looked at the anatomists in awe: it was surprisingly large. And Beethoven's thinking organ, which was prepared three years later, had an unusually high number and very deep turns. It can be concluded on the personality of their owners faded from weight, shape and other properties of brains? Can explain why one was a genius and the other criminal that? Believed in it in the 19th Century more and more professionals, and so continued - particularly in Germany - a real collection, surveying and mapping mania, which extended over many generations. What was discovered by legions of researchers? Nothing. The brains dawn silence in the display cases. Burrell tells her story." ; 1.57 x 8.35 x 5.75 Inches; 383 pages .
