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
- rather than being a mental anomaly
- is in fact simply an extreme male brain? Why are female brains better at empathasing? How are male brains designed to analyse systems? & what really makes men & women different? Simon Baron-Cohen explores list-making lying & two decades of research in a ground-breaking examination of how our brains can be male or female but always completely fascinating. " Compelling... Inspiring". (" Guardian"). " This is no Mars/ Venus whimsy but the conclusion from twenty years of experiment". (" Evening Standard"). "A devastating contribution to the gender debate". (" Mail on Sunday"). "A fascinating thought-provoking book". (" Observer"). Simon Baron-Cohen is Professor at Cambridge University in the fields of psychology & psychiatry. He is also the Director of Cambridge's internationally renowned Autism Research Centre. He has carried out research into social neuroscience over a career spanning twenty years. He is the author of " Mindblindness" & " Zero Degrees of Empathy"."

From reviews.. .[ Essential Examination] can be considered as a very helpful "aide-memoire" as practitioners build up their confidence & clinical experience. Although developed with medics in mind it could be very useful for advanced nurse practitioners & physician assistants; in fact any health care professional would find it useful as a revision aid particularly when learning with peers. The book is clearly & succinctly written. It is not designed to teach students how to carry out examinations but in a systematic way it links clinical examination (what you do) to pathophysiology & diagnosis (what you may find & what it means). It is produced in a landscape format in a ring binder which makes it easy to access when on a busy attachment or shift. It very helpfully lists the abbreviations at the beginning..." International Journal of Clinical Skills www. ijocs. org Amazon review: This is a fantastic book & a must for all medical students. The unique strength of this book is the layout
