A New Field in Mind

A History of Interdisciplinarity in the Early Brain Sciences

McGill-Queen’s University Press

This study of the evolution of neuroscientific research from the late nineteenth century to postwar times, features diagrams of the brain as the focus of the cover design. The overlapping pictorial images allude to the links between modern and historical understandings and the relationship existing amongst a variety of scientific disciplines. The wide spine allows for the title to sit horizontally on both the dust jacket and the hard cover.
