Until recently, the left hemisphere of our brain has been seen as the 'rational' side, the superior partner to the right. But is this distinction true? Drawing on a vast body of experimental research, Iain McGilchrist argues while our left brain makes for a wonderful servant, it is a very poor master. As he shows, it is the right side which is the more reliable and insightful. Without it, our world would be mechanistic - stripped of depth, colour and value.     606 $aCerebral dominance 615 0$aCerebral dominance. 676 $a612.8/2 700 $aMcGilchrist$b Iain$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01103746 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910793202903321 996 $aThe Master and His Emissary$93691262 997 $aUNINA
