Praise for Apprentices of Wonder

"If you want to understand the latest scientific thinking about the relations between mind and brain, meet Allman's Apprentices of Wonder."--Howard Gardner, author of The Mind's New Science: A History of Cognitive Revolution

"This snappy introduction to the possibilities of the new sciences of connectionism will inform readers why mahy brain scientists are excited--and why the skeptics remain to be persuaded."--Pamela McCorduck, coauthor, with Mitchell Feigenbaum, of The Fifth Generation and author of Machines Who Think and The Universal Machine
