READING
IN THE BRAIN - STANISLAUS DEHAENE
RATING:C
This
book deals with reading - covering the basics of how we read to how we
learn to read, problems with reading, how writing and reading came
about, etc. It covers both science and evolutionary matters related
to reading.
I
found the first part of the text enjoyable and invigorating, but by
the time I was a third to half way through, I began to get a bit
bored finding it less personally interesting. There were also a lot
of notes to keep checking - although predominantly only sources.
I
would recommend this book to those who are interested in the subject
of reading from a scientific or historical viewpoint, and those
interested in reading that simply want to read about reading.
