I've brought together some of my favorite pieces about the brain in two ebooks, Brain Cuttings: Fifteen Journeys Through the Mind, and More Brain Cuttings: Further Explorations of the Mind. Earlier this year, the distributor for the ebooks, IPG, got into an ugly fight with Amazon, which led to Amazon yanking IPG's 5,000 ebooks. Which was a bummer. Just recently, though, the two sides came to an agreement. (The details are here.) And that means my ebooks are back. Click here for the Kindle edition of Brain Cuttings, and here for More Brain Cuttings. Of course, you can also order both ebooks elsewhere if you're so inclined: Brain Cuttings: iTunes, Barnes & Noble, Scott & Nix (my publisher) More Brain Cuttings: iTunes, Barnes & Noble, Scott & Nix
