Written in non-specialized language, the book draws upon concepts and research from history, philosophy, neuroscience and physics to delineate new approaches to the study of consciousness. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eEarly chapters deal with a range of ideas about our nature, and suggest that mind can usefully be viewed as a type of dynamic landscape. The account shows how our minds relate to their societies, brains and bodies and how they differ from computers. Later chapters develop a theory of the basis of consciousness (SoS theory). Using the physical concept of 'broken symmetry' the author shows how conscious mind may be rooted in temporality; a view that is supported by the occurrence of a wide range of anomalous phenomena. Potentially valuable future lines of research are identified.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis is a unique and engaging book that will appeal to students and academics in the field of consciousness studies and other readers with an interest in consciousness.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChris Nunn\u003c\/strong\u003e is a retired Consultant Psychiatrist, who used to work in association with the Medical School at Southampton University, UK.
