How to Be a Genius: Your Brain and How to Train It is the ultimate children’s encyclopedia on the amazing human brain and its workings. This lavishly illustrated, endlessly entertaining and informative tome is sure to provide hours of fun and learning.
Here you can learn about the structure of the human brain, the way the different senses function, and how our memory, imagination, and logical abilities work. The information is presented in the inimitable and clear style, supported by lots of well-chosen illustrations, that readers have come to expect from DK Publishing.
Many fun and challenging mini-games that pepper the book simultaneously entertain and educate. Each section contains fascinating portraits of famous people such as Mahatma Gandhi, Albert Einstein, Charles Darwin and Leonardo da Vinci.
The last two sections of the book dealing with how the brain influences our personalities and how the brain has evolved are particularly interesting, comparing the thinking of animals, humans and computers, for instance.
This is an encyclopedia that parents and children will enjoy reading together. What a great present for a bright and curious young person!
