Once more, the physical book is a wonder. The graphics are outstanding . . .. The value of the book . . . is the clear and detailed relationship carefully outlined between current anatomical and physiological knowledge and the conception of the human brain Gurdjieff details in his writings. . . .

This is an essential reference book for anyone interested in Gurdjieff's seemingly unique conception of the human brain.
