***** france's top neuroscientist offers his synthesis; lots of striking insights; good graphics

***** how a restaurant works, in detail; this book is fascinating; you get the names and backgrounds of everyone from porter to saucier

***** very funny and witty; "zombic hunch" is ridiculed; the "tuned deck" metaphor is apt: card tricks shed light on consciousness!

* underwhelming enfant terrible corresponds with overprivileged would-be philosophe; sparks fly—not

***** "massivley reentrant"; "degeneracy" it's all here!
