Its topic is depression. I could not be doing with all of it, but the review of what is known, scientifically, about depression is excellent.<BR/><BR/>Whatever one may think or write about Wolpert, he is a gentleman. I was editing one of his pieces for Nature at the time the above book was published. I mentioned to him on the phone that I was planning to read it, as a fellow-sufferer. He immediately sent me a copy. A generous man, indeed, and I can tell you, extremely well-read and knowledgeable on a huge range of topics, including classics and literature as well as science.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
