Two Heads

Joyful and fabulously original . . . Have I ever read anything like it before? No, I’m certain that I haven’t. Each page is a visual delight . . . It’s extremely easy to read and often very funny. And yet you finish it with your mind blown. Simply by virtue of the fact that it makes some pretty cutting-edge brain science seem almost straightforward, it subtly expands the world of the reader * Observer *
Neither simplifies nor trivialises the way the human brain works . . . An enlightening, inspirational scientific voyage that highlights the importance of collaboration * Kirkus *
[A] comprehensive graphic guide to the workings of the brain . . . Chock-full of science facts . . . The work overall has the feel of being invited to dinner with a friend’s eccentric genius parents * Publisher's Weekly *
