ex: Harry -Potter will return results without the word 'Potter'.
If you use 'AND' between two words, then both of those words will be present in the search results.
ex: Harry AND Potter will return results with both 'Harry' and 'Potter'.
If you use 'OR' between two words, then bth of those words may or may not be present in the search results.
ex: Harry OR Potter will return results with just 'Harry', results with just 'Potter' and results with both 'Harry' and 'Potter'.
If you use 'NOT' before a word, then that word will be absent in the search results.
ex: Harry NOT Potter will return results without the word 'Potter'.
Placing '""' around words will perform a phrase search. The search results will contain those words in that order.

OverviewA brilliant synthesis that reevaluates, in accessible language, one of the major concepts of twentieth-century science in light of the latest experiments.In this brilliant synthesis, Frank Tallis argues that the unconscious--along with quantum physics and the gene--is one of the three big ideas of twentieth-century science. Closely associated with the psychoanalysis of Sigmund Freud, it seemed to have fallen from scientific favor midway through the last century, but now it has staged a major comeback. New research in neuroscience, psychology, artificial intelligence, and evolutionary theory has shown not only that the unconscious exists but that no account of the human mind can be complete without an understanding of this essential part of us.Hidden Minds traces the history of our fascination with the unconscious, from St. Augustine, who wrote, I cannot grasp all that I am, to contemporary scientists. Drawing widely on philosophy, literature, art, and the latest research, the author discusses the various efforts over the ages to explore, comprehend, and unlock the creative potential of the hidden mind, whether through reason, drug use, hypnotism, automatic writing, lucid dreaming, subliminal stimuli, psychological experimentation, surgical intervention, brain scans, or the talking cure. His survey offers colorful, sometimes astonishing examples, while it lays out some of the functions of unconscious processes in our daily lives. It also leads to a startling conclusion: that Freud may have been right in his assessment of the importance of the idea of the unconscious.Lucid in its explanations, comprehensive in scope, and always thought-provoking, Hidden Minds is science writing--and history--at its most exhilarating.
