内容简介 在线阅读本书

Of great utility for every scientist faced with publicizing their discoveries via the media, this book addresses questions of responsibility for the balance and accuracy of scientific reporting, and attempts to be a guide for the scientist in their quest to inform the general public about their research in honest, truthful, and still interesting ways. Case studies by leading scholars in the fields of bioethics (pharmaceutical research (Declan Doogan, Senior VP Pfizer), medical journal editing (Jerome Kassirer, former editor of NEJM), science journalism, philosophy of science, history of medicine (John Warner, chair history of medicine Yale), public health (Ruth Katz, Dean public health, George Washington University), and philosophy of religion (Reverend Wesley Carr, former Dean of Westminster) illustrate positions and points of view and offer unique perspectives on the complex dance between science and the media.

* Provides a compelling overview and analysis of the difficulties of dealing with mass media and collects tips and solutions.
* Includes case studies from the experience of a number of high profile contributors from different fields
* Provides an easy to read, carefully selected and synthesized overview well suited to teaching and as further reading source in respective classes
* Includes a famous movie from Jose Delgado that shows his attempts in the 60s to demonstrate "remote control" of a bull

编辑推荐 Review
"This is a wonderful introductory cognitive neuroscience textbook that would be an excellent required book for an undergraduate course. I highly recommend it." -Michael J. Schrift, University of Illinois at Chicago College of Medicine, in Doody's "This is a wonderful, unique textbook, in the form of an edited volume, that makes the field of cognitive neuroscience come alive. It strikes an excellent balance between three interlocking frontiers: behavioral evidence on cognitive processes; neural evidence from brain research, neurology, and neuroimaging; and philosophical responses to this research, pointing out its implications for human consciousness and subjective experience. With its numerous helpful, vivid color illustrations and an engaging writing style throughout, the text makes inherently technical material accessible without losing sight of the exciting new findings and ideas coming from the research. An instructor could find it useful for courses on more than one topic and for courses at more than one level of sophistication. The coverage is sweeping, ranging from the level of the neuron to the whole brain and to the conceptual levels of cognitive psychology and social cognition and emotion. There are many reasons why researchers and instructors in cognitive neuroscience and allied fields need this book. --Nelson Cowan, Curators' Professor, Department of Psychological Sciences, University of Missouri, Columbia, USA "Though intended as a text for students of psychology, biology, education and medicine, Cognition, Brain and Consciousness has much to offer the intelligent layperson and even experts in cognitive neuroscience. It's clearly and entertainingly written, abundantly illustrated and content rich, making this complex, but fascinating, field accessible to all." --Stan Franklin, Ph.D., W. Harry Feinstone Interdisciplinary Research Professor Director, Institute for Intelligent Systems The University of Memphis, Tennessee, USA "Masterfully organized and comprehensive in its coverage, this textbook will surely be THE introduction to cognitive neuroscience. The contributing authors are highly accomplished experts, and details are deftly selected to illustrate principles as well as to launch the curious reader into the exciting but vast realm of the nervous system. Anatomy, sometimes the bane of introductions to the brain, is gracefully interwoven on a need-to-know basis. In a clever use of IT, the accompanying website provides videos of human patients as well as powerpoint slides for anatomy and physiology. The companion website will be updated regularly with the latest results, and in the open-source tradition, website ideas are solicited from imaginative readers. A powerful pedagogical achievement, and a boon for both the novice and the advanced student." --Patricia Smith Churchland, Chair UC President's Professor of Philosophy University of California San Diego, USA "Comprehensive, authoritative and beautifully illustrated, this is a superb introduction to cognitive neuroscience. It is ideally suited as a text to accompany an undergraduate or graduate course. The depth and sophistication of its treatment of key topics make it more than a mere introductory text, though, and it can be read with profit by all with an interest in how the brain supports cognition, whether student or established researcher." --Michael D. Rugg, Center for the Neurobiology of Learning and Memory at the University of California, Irvine, USA
