Human beings are extraordinary creatures, and it is the unprecedented human brain that makes them so. In this delightfully accessible book, the authors present the first full, step-by-step account of the evolution of the brain and nervous system.Tapping the very latest findings in evolutionary biology, neuroscience, and molecular biology, Rob DeSalle and Ian Tattersall explain how the cognitive gulf that separates us from all other living creatures could have occurred. They discuss the development and uniqueness of human consciousness, how human and nonhuman brains work, the roles of different nerve cells, the importance of memory and language in brain functions, and much more. Our brains, they conclude, are the product of a lengthy and supremely untidy history-an evolutionary process of many zigs and zags-that has accidentally resulted in a splendidly eccentric and creative product. 606 $aCognition 606 $aNeurophysiology 606 $aBrain$xEvolution 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aCognition. 615 0$aNeurophysiology. 615 0$aBrain$xEvolution. 676 $a612.8/2 700 $aDeSalle$b Rob$0546347 701 $aTattersall$b Ian$0451652 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910461783803321 996 $aThe brain$92462677 997 $aUNINA LEADER 01191nam 2200409 450 001 9910465880603321 005 20200127104137.0 010 $a2-36723-106-0 035 $a(CKB)3710000001093940 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC4813619 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL4813619 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr11353331 035 $a(OCoLC)975224572 035 $a(EXLCZ)993710000001093940 100 $a20200127d2016 uy 0 101 0 $afre 135 $aurcnu|||||||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 10$aC'est un beau jour pour gue?rir /$fJean-Pierre Le Rallic 210 1$a[Place of publication not identified] :$cLe Texte vivant,$d[2016] 210 4$dİ2016 215 $a1 online resource (216 pages) $cillustrations 311 $a2-36723-109-5 606 $aTraditional medicine 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aTraditional medicine. 676 $a615.882 700 $aLe Rallic$b Jean-Pierre$f1960-$0866687 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910465880603321 996 $aC'est un beau jour pour gue?rir$91934628 997 $aUNINA LEADER 03947nam 22005775 450 001 9910303437103321 005 20230810194642.0 010 $a9783319945088 010 $a3319945084 024 7 $a10.1007/978-3-319-94508-8 035 $a(CKB)4100000007204688 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC5611919 035 $a(DE-He213)978-3-319-94508-8 035 $a(Perlego)3493310 035 $a(EXLCZ)994100000007204688 100 $a20181206d2018 u| 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurcnu|||||||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 10$aAfrica on the Contemporary London Stage /$fedited by Tiziana Morosetti 205 $a1st ed. 2018. 210 1$aCham :$cSpringer International Publishing :$cImprint: Palgrave Macmillan,$d2018. 215 $a1 online resource (251 pages) 311 08$a9783319945071 311 08$a3319945076 327 $a1.

It focuses on whether - and, if so, to what extent - the Africa that emerges from the London scene is subject to stereotype, and/or in which ways the reception of audiences and critics have contributed to an understanding of the continent and its arts. The collection, divided into two parts, brings together well-established academics and emerging scholars, as well as playwrights, directors and performers currently active in London. With a focus on Wole Soyinka, Athol Fugard, Bola Agbaje, Biyi Bandele, and Dipo Agboluaje, amongst others, the volume examines the work of key companies such as Tiata Fahodzi and Talawa, as well as newer companies Two Gents, Iroko Theatre and Spora Stories. Interviews with Rotimi Babatunde, Ade Solanke and Dipo Agboluaje on the contemporary London scene are also included. 606 $aTheater$xHistory 606 $aTheater 606 $aEthnology$zAfrica 606 $aCulture 606 $aContemporary Theatre and Performance 606 $aTheatre History 606 $aNational and Regional Theatre and Performance 606 $aAfrican Culture 615 0$aTheater$xHistory. 615 0$aTheater. 615 0$aEthnology 615 0$aCulture. 615 14$aContemporary Theatre and Performance. 615 24$aTheatre History. 615 24$aNational and Regional Theatre and Performance. 615 24$aAfrican Culture. 676 $a792.09421 702 $aMorosetti$b Tiziana$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910303437103321 996 $aAfrica on the Contemporary London Stage$92220112 997 $aUNINA
