A revelatory work.\" \u003cbr\u003e -Oliver Sacks, M.D. \u003c\/b\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe act of reading is so easily taken for granted that we forget what an astounding feat it is. How can a few black marks on white paper evoke an entire universe of meanings? It's even more amazing when we consider that we read using a primate brain that evolved to serve an entirely different purpose. In this riveting investigation, Stanislas Dehaene explores every aspect of this human invention, from its origins to its neural underpinnings. A world authority on the subject, Dehaene reveals the hidden logic of spelling, describes pioneering research on hiw we process languages, and takes us into a new appreciation of the brain and its wondrous capacity to adapt.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Penguin Publishing Group","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47011921920240,"sku":"9780143118053","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780143118053_p0.jpg?v=1763656844","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780143118053","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
