Much as one should not encourage the practice of stringing barely mediated
academic papers together and calling it a book, the essays in Charles Gross’s
Brain, Vision, Memory, drawn largely from issues of the Neuroscientist, offer
resonant (and delightfully illustrated) glimpses into the history of anatomy,
sight, and mind. The chapter on Swedenborg will especially please followers of
intellectual fashion. Published by MIT Press £22.50/$32.50, ISBN
