Books in the Oxford Companions series

This edition of the classic reference has been thoroughly revised and updated, offering unrivalled coverage of English literature. It continues to offer detailed and authoritative information on authors and works, alongside extended coverage of popular literary genres, as well as of the themes and concepts encountered by students.

We all have a mind, but how much do we know about what it is, and how it works? How do philosophers, physiologists, pyschologists, and psychiatrists differ in their understanding of its processes? The second edition of the highly acclaimed Oxford Companion to the Mind attempts to answer these questions, and raises more, as it explores this most-intriguing of subjects.
