In 1997, Don Gazzaniga was diagnosed with congestive heart failure. His doctor was ready to sign him up for a heart transplant. Don responded by creating a large selection of recipes that never went above five hundred milligrams of sodium a day. That's all And the recipes were delicious.

The No-Salt, Lowest Sodium Light Meals Book contains Don's and Maureen's recipes for lighter fare: soups, salads and dressings, and sandwiches. It provides a wide array of choices for those who want to dramatically lower their sodium intake without losing taste.

"Big questions are Gazzaniga's stock in trade."
--New York Times

"Gazzaniga is one of the most brilliant experimental neuroscientists in the world."
--Tom Wolfe

"Gazzaniga stands as a giant among neuroscientists, for both the quality of his research and his ability to communicate it to a general public with infectious enthusiasm."
--Robert Bazell, Chief Science Correspondent, NBC News

The author of Human, Michael S. Gazzaniga has been called the "father of cognitive neuroscience." In his remarkable book, Who's in Charge?, he...

Recent, stunning discoveries suggest that natural selection affects not only physical characteristics but also mental processes, from learning to substance abuse. Michael S. Gazzaniga reveals that just as the environment selects those organisms most likely to survive, within the brain the environment selects pre-existing capacities from a massive inventory of possibilities.

A provocative and fascinating look at new discoveries about the brain that challenge our ethics

The rapid advance of scientific knowledge has raised ethical dilemmas that humankind has never before had to address. Questions about the moment when life technically begins and ends or about the morality of genetically designing babies are now relevant and timely. Our ever-increasing knowledge of the workings of the human brain can guide us in the formation of new moral principles in the twenty-first century. In The Ethical Brain, preeminent neuroscientist Michael S. Gazzaniga...

What happened along the evolutionary trail that made humans so unique? In his accessible style, Michael Gazzaniga pinpoints the change that made us thinking, sentient humans different from our predecessors. He explores what makes human brains special, the importance of language and art in defining the human condition, the nature of human consciousness, and even artificial intelligence.

Donald Gazzaniga, diagnosed with congestive heart failure, was headed for a heart transplant. Urged by his doctor to keep his sodium intake "under 1,500 to 2,000 milligrams a day," Don headed for the kitchen and went to work devising recipes for delicious low-sodium dishes that added up to less than 500 milligrams daily. The results? Don's name has been removed from the transplant list, and Don shared his recipes with the world in The No-Salt, Lowest-Sodium Cookbook.

Readers of that first book have kept in touch with Don via his Web site, and have written him letters asking...

The evolution of cognitive neuroscience has been spurred by the development of increasingly sophisticated investigative techniques to study human cognition. In Methods in Mind, experts examine the wide variety of tools available to cognitive neuroscientists, paying particular attention to the ways in which different methods can be integrated to strengthen empirical findings and how innovative uses for established techniques can be developed. The book will be a uniquely valuable resource for the researcher seeking to expand his or her repertoire of investigative...
