Books in the Oxford Companions series

A storehouse of useful, interesting, and curious knowledge about time and its reckoning, based on the premise that every day is memorable. The book is in two parts: an authoritative survey of the calendar year, and a section on the measurement of time and the calculation of movable feasts. It is illustrated with 16 pages of black-and-white plates.

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.
