In this rigorously reported and entertaining account, Williams offers a genuinely new perspective on the links between how we move and how we think and feel, Move! is science writing at its absolute best: lucid, informative, authoritative, fascinating - and very very important, A letter to an "I think, therefore I am" culture that knows our bodies need exercise, but imagines our minds as somehow separate ... Even if you already "get" that exercise makes you feel better, Move! enhances the picture so you can see how the researched details fit together
Caroline Williams originally planned to be a PE teacher, but ended up studying biology because she found the science aspects of PE more interesting than the team sports. The author of Override, she is a consultant and writer for New Scientist, and has spent several years researching the links between movement and the mind. Throwing your inner ear off balance will always change how you feel; Caroline likes to improve her mood by cycling down bumpy hills.

The book are excellent nd the quality amazing it just u can't see when the books are gonna come so that was difficult nd they had the wrong waiting period so my books took longer then I thought they would but all in all I'm happy
So happy with this book. Lovely behind the scenes information and photos about the horcruxes and Deathy Hallows development and designs. Can't wait to get the other books in the series.
Wish I knew about this book sooner. Many many questions were answered. Dr. Hill explains so much technical info in layman terms without overwhelming the reader with doomsday notions. Her book is balanced and allows the reader to come to their own informed decisions and conclusions
