Review: The Brain Box is a boxed set of six small handbooks, providing introductions to six topics: Evolution (Brian and Deborah Charlesworth) Cosmology (Peter Coles) Quantum Theory (John Polkinghorne) Consciousness (Susan Blackmore) Intelligence (Ian J. Deary) Everything The books provide, as they say, ‘very short introductions’ to topics that may not be familiar to the reader. They are written in a very approachable style by eminent researchers in the fields. This boxed set is a mini science library but the OUP series of Short Introductions to Everything now has almost 150 titles – ranging from Anarchism to World Trade organization.
