The Hidden Brain

“Compulsively readable” was what the Boston Globe had to say about Shankar Vedantam’s new book, “The Hidden Brain.” I met Shankar via the Templeton-Cambridge Journalism Fellowships, and I’m  not surprised. All of us who know him admire his work ethic, his clearheadedness and his extraordinary ability to make obscure things make sense. I’m looking forward to reading the book — and hoping he’ll give a reading while he’s here.
