Simon Ings liked How Brains Think (8 March 1997): “A valuable introduction
to the consciousness debate. Calvin the writer easily equals his nearest
literary rival, Dennett, and this is a clever, exuberant work. It assumes no
knowledge and pulls no punches. Nail it to the foreheads of all dissenting
dinner guests.” So buy the paperback out this week. Published by Phoenix,
£6.99, ISBN 0753802007.
