Written by Clemens Lode (Conna Craig is listed as the editor), this is part of the Philosophy for Heroes series by Lode and looks at the nature and origin of Consciousness through Philosophy, Popular Science, Psychology and Neuroscience. Starting with a history of evolutionary thought, Lode then looks at how the brain evolved from early multi-cell organisms to the primate brain, and what the human brain is capable of today. He then reviews and briefly discusses the current theories of consciousness and then shows how, through a series of evolutionary steps, consciousness may have developed. There is a lot of information in the book, and I think some illustrations of the brain regions might have helped. In the Kindle version there are some "Figures" which might have been easier to comprehend as standard tables. I've done a lot of reading in cognitive science and am very interested in the nature of Consciousness, and found this book to be helpful; a lot of useful information to "chew on."
