De Laetoli a la Luna

In this book the author deals with certain aspects of the origin of our ideas, about the structure of the brain and its relationship between artistic creativity and cognition, topics that represent a very interesting bridge between science and philosophy. With a suggestive narration, the author uses numerous works and thoughts of artists and writers as metaphors to jump from the world of art to the world of science and vice versa, and at the same time inspire the reader to meditate on the nature of the brain, the essence of our humanity. The end result is a hybrid book -informative, humanistic and scientific- that combines scientific rigor and intellectual pleasure.
