Just skimmed a rave review, by neuroscientist Keith Oatley in 6 Jan NEW
SCIENTIST, of a new book by Joseph Le Doux called, maybe, THE EMOTIONAL
MIND or THE EMOTIONAL BRAIN. Oatley adverts to Damasio's DESCARTES' ERROR
(Damasio's Error being not to call it DESCARTES'S ERROR), which he (rightly)
considers a pretty classy attack on the problem; but he likes Le Doux's book
even better. It's all in the amygdala, doncha know. Well, a lot of it.
There are also some nice books announced in
