Neuro : The New Brain Sciences and the Management of the Mind
ESRC rated the end of award report, including this book, as Outstanding. The breadth of the research and its overarching argument make a huge contribution to the key debates in the neuroscience field - theoretical, technological, economic, and biopolitical – which are transforming neurobiology.
This book is the outcome of five years of research (September 2007–December 2011) and meets the criteria of extended scale and scope. The book evaluates emerging trends in neurobiology across a broad spectrum of areas and does so in the context of an evaluation of concerns about a neurobiological ‘colonization’ of the social and human sciences. Rose devised and directed the project, carried out the majority of the substantive research, and wrote the book. The book consists of seven substantive and distinct research-based chapters, each of which could stand alone as a scholarly paper.
