Dark and Magical Places: The Neuroscience of Navigation

Within our minds, we carry an infinite map of the world. Navigation, an ancient neural ability older than language, is explored in this book by Christopher Kemp.

He delves into the secrets of supernavigators and the dreamlike environments of people with ‘place blindness’. Kemp explains cutting-edge neuroscience transforming our understanding of navigation and questions why, despite our sophisticated internal navigation system, humans get lost frequently.
