Like most books in this particular hybrid genre, Brain Story is a glossy, smartly produced coffee-table book, long on illustrations and photographs and short on detail, but an interesting read, nevertheless. As Greenfield admits in the preface "The viewers, we decided, were not about to take an exam in neuroscience, and therefore we did not need detailed or exhaustive facts". Fair enough. But it is interesting to compare Brain Story with other popular science books on the market, including Greenfield's own The Private Life of the Brain and realise the full extent to which science is dumbed down for television audiences. However, as an introduction to the inside of our heads and a tale of great human as well as scientific interest, Brain Story is able to stand alone, even if viewers of the TV series will not find further enlightenment here. -- Chris Lavers
