Reviews

“Fol­low­ing the series’ ques­tion-and-answer for­mat, How Is My Brain Like a Super­com­put­er? is a sur­pris­ing­ly com­plete explo­ration of human anato­my (DNA, diges­tion, cir­cu­la­tion, and more). Dou­ble-page spreads col­or­ful pho­tomi­cro­graphs and anatom­i­cal draw­ings in acces­si­ble designs. Read­ing list, web­sites.” (The Horn Book)

Behind the Book

“I’ve writ­ten about the five sens­es before, but this title gave me the exit­ing oppor­tu­ni­ty to look close­ly at sen­so­ry per­cep­tion in oth­er ani­mals, too, and that was a tru­ly eye open­ing expe­ri­ence. Thanks to help from a num­ber of ani­mal researchers, I learned a great deal about how the crea­tures around us expe­ri­ence the world, and I includ­ed the most fas­ci­nat­ing tid­bits in the book.”
