About the Author
Psychologist Robert Ornstein's wide-ranging and multidisciplinary work has won him awards from more than a dozen organizations, including the American Psychological Association and UNESCO. His pioneering research on the bilateral specialization of the brain has done much to advance our understanding of how we think. He received his bachelor's degree in psychology from City University of New York in 1964 and his Ph.D. in psychology from Stanford University in 1968. His doctoral thesis won the American Institutes for Research Creative Talent Award and was published immediately as a book, On the Experience of Time. Since then he has written or co-written more than twenty other books on the nature of the human mind and brain and their relationship to thought, health and individual and social consciousness, which have sold over six million copies and been translated into a dozen other languages. His textbooks have been used in more than 20,000 university classes. Dr. Ornstein has taught at the University of California Medical Center and Stanford University, and he has lectured at more than 200 colleges and universities in the U.S. and overseas. He is the president and founder of the Institute for the Study of Human Knowledge (ISHK), an educational nonprofit dedicated to bringing important discoveries concerning human nature to the general public.

Hardcover. Condition: Good Plus to Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. As one reviewer noted about Ornstein, the late Stanford psychologist, he was "gifted with the ability to expound difficult ideas simply." That is the case with "Multimind" in which he breaks down traditional barriers between for example, science and religion, that have hampered understanding of what our brains are and how they work. First edition, first printing (with complete numberline). About 5 3/4 x 8 1/2 inches, 206 pages including notes and references, in green paper-covered boards with black backstrip and silver lettering on spine. Dustjacket's front panel features drawing by Sally Mallam Ornstein and back panel contains 3 blurbs of praise for Ornstein's work. Boards are free of significant flaws or damage beyond a very slight spine lean. No bumped corners, tears, creases or scratches. Text is complete and clean with a few dogearred pages as well as occasional light underlining, which has largely been erased. The creased corners and underlining do not prevent this copy from its primary job of explaining difficult brain science to the general public. After 30 years, the content of"Multimind" is no longer cutting edge but still unknown to most of the public and popular media. Seller Inventory # 005997
