Curriculum Conections (The Brain)

I picked this book Curriculum Connections by Brown Bear Books, beacuase it alows me to get a look and undertstanding of the brain and mind and how it has developed. It describes in detail the workings of the brain, investigates how our perceptual systems and the brain work to intersept the sensations we expirience. It also gives you a breife understanding of the role that emmotions play in mental health in everyday lives. The brain controles what we think, do, act, say etc; every single second of the day. I have always been interested in Psychology, how that brain works and playes a role in our everyday lives.
