520    "An illuminating examination of how the brain helps us to 
       understand and navigate space-and why, sometimes, it 
       doesn't work the way it should. Navigation is one of the 
       most complex tasks our brains perform. And we do it 
       countless times a day-as we drive across town to the 
       airport, or traverse the maze of a supermarket, or walk 
       within our own homes. But why is it that some people are 
       lost on their own street and others can seamlessly 
       navigate a new city after visiting it once? Fueled by his 
       own spatial shortcomings, Christopher Kemp describes the 
       brain regions that orient us in space and the specialized 
       neurons-place cells and grid cells-that do it. He explains
       how the brain plans routes, recognizes landmarks, and 
       makes sure we leave a room through a door instead of a 
       painting. Along the way, he meets the scientists trying to
       understand the mental maps of modern humans, and 
       Neanderthals, and lost people everywhere. Dark and Magical
       Places is an informed and entertaining journey into the 
       mysteries of the mind"--|cProvided by publisher.
