Science Books That Aren't Boring
Alchemy of the Mind

October 13, 2005
By Diane Ackerman
Just when you thought science writing was as stiff and cold as a sterilized countertop in a chemistry lab, Ackerman proves you wrong. Her musings on the complex worlds of neurochemistry, emotions and memory are passionate and poetic, interspersed with personal experience and intimate discoveries, as if she's a lone gardener in a field of wildflowers, pointing out an especially vibrant coreopsis or a peculiar poppy. Her writing is comforting and familiar, which is a plus since the mind can be such a frightening frontier to explore.
