About this title

Synopsis

Bring your learning to life through the mindful art of colouring. Offering an alternative style of learning, this insightful book combines easy-to-follow explanations of brain anatomy and functions with detailed, labelled diagrams to colour in. While colouring, you can sit back, relax, and listen to the accompanying online audio podcast, which clearly explains each topic.

The unique interactive book covers a comprehensive list of brain anatomy, including how our brains grow, brain cells and how they communicate, important functions of the brain, brain disorders and reactions, and how our brains are protected. Using a conversational tone throughout, each chapter engages the reader with succinct descriptions of each topic, allowing them to easily digest and process the information, as they colour in the accompanying diagram. The book then concludes with a chapter on mindfulness and what benefits it can have for your brain and learning.

Designed to simplify complex concepts into bite-sized, understandable chunks, this is the ideal resource for psychology, neuroscience, nursing, and medical students who prefer visual and audible methods of learning. This book is also for anyone interested in understanding more about brain anatomy and functions, but with a little fun, creativity, and relaxation along the way.
