About This Item
New York: Doubleday, 2014. 1st Edition 1st Printing. Hardcover. As New/As New. 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall. New York: Doubleday, 2014. First Edition and First Printing. Octavo, illustrated jacket, blue and black boards with silver spine imprinting, xviii + 377 pp. +1. As New, and better than that; completely flawless and pristine. Even the spine ends - book and jacket - are military straight and untouched, and will stay that way in archival protection. A collector copy if there ever was one of the 1st/1st of Michio Kaku's remarkable adventure into understanding - scientifically and analytically - consciousness. Tall order, but he's up for giving it a scholarly yet engaging go. Neither Kaku nor any scientist at this point will be able to cross the last river and explain what "self-awareness" is, as distinct from what happens physically when it goes on; but then they aren't philosophers, and philosophers can't even do that yet. When it will happens, it will arise from a new, blended discipline. You heard that here first. Please see scans. An absolutely extraordinarily sharp example. L-51n
