Publisher: Oxford University Press, USA



"When a paradigm-shattering discovery is made in science, it goes through three stages before gaining acceptance. First, people don't believe; second, they claim it is of no interest; and third, they say that they have always known it. The discovery of mirror neurons in the early 1990s by Giacomo Rizzolatti, Vittorio Gallese, Marco Iacoboni and others, has been through all three stages. Happily, the idea seems to have emerged unscathed, judging from Mirrors in the Brain... a long-awaited review...[written] in a jargon-free style that should be intelligible to all."--Nature


"...an elegant, easily readable book that is required reading for anybody who is interested in this field."--Metapsychology Online
