Pre-orders will be delivered as soon as we have copies at the museum!
Welcome to our guide to the incredible living machine that is the brain! Through unbelievable facts and classic Crab Museum jokes, The No-Brainer Brain Explainer explores the smallest, biggest, toughest, foldiest, brainiest brains in the animal kingdom.
Take a tour through the imagination of dung beetles, marvel at cockroach brains that are spread all throughout their body, and meet octopuses with their nine brains. Discover the brains behind massive insect colonies, flocking birds and intelligent fungal networks, and of course, the smartest brain of all, according to itself: yours!
You'll also uncover:
What brains are made of and why they're important
Where to find your second brain
How brains help us time travel
The fruitfly brain, the most well-studied brain ever
The evolution of brains
What makes a brain 'intelligent'
The limits of brains, like confusion, phobias and mental wellbeing
Much, much more...
