So Human A Brain
Full of humor and perhaps overfull of social criticism, Marks' book is an extremely thought provoking entryway into the softer side of science. I would advise anyone dipping their toes into the sciences to take a strenuous look at the ideas he raises, especially about scientific responsibility and the cultural ramifications of scientific study. To the animal rights activists out there, I just want to open this book to the human vs. animal rights page and SHMEAR it all over your faces. Not because I don't respect your cause, but because it's important. To remember. That people > animals, for the most part. IDK. All of his points made me slightly uncomfortable, which I appreciate, though sometimes his arguments felt a little holey.
