Examines the remarkable diversity of animal and human behaviour and of medical science in the course of its scrutiny of "brain" and "mind".

The unravelling of the nature of consciousness - the awareness of being alive - is the ultimate challenge to the enquiring mind and has preoccupied poets, philosophers, writers and scientists throughout the ages. In "The Pinnacle of Life" Professor Denton, poses and discusses significant questions concerning consciousness in both humans and animals.

Dr Derek Denton has spent decades in biomedical scientific research and is regarded as an international leader in investigation of instinctive behaviour. Professor Denton is a Foreign Medical Member of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, an Honorary Foreign Member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and a Fellow of the Australian Academy of Sciences.
