Simon Baron-Cohen's The Essential Difference: Men Women & the Extreme Male Brain" is an unflinching look at the scientific evidence behind the innate sex differences of the mind. Men & women have always seemed to think in entirely different ways from conversation & communication to games & gadgets. But are these differences created by society or do our minds come ready-wired one way or another with female brains tending towards interaction & male towards organisation? & could this mean that autism

(" Mail on Sunday"). "A fascinating thought-provoking book". (" Observer"). Simon Baron-Cohen is Professor at Cambridge University in the fields of psychology & psychiatry.
