[bksvol-discuss] Fw: Brain that Changes Itself

I got the note below from Ellen, who apparently has been reading the posts on 
the bookshare list.

The book sounds fascinating and I'm adding it to the Wish list. It definitely 
seems like something that should be in the collection. I'd be very happy to 
validate it if someone were to scan it--unless someone else wants to valdiate, 
in which case I'll just read it. (I feel people who need credits should 
validate if possible). The book was published in 2007 and apparently is very 
popular; I'm number 47 on the list for 11 copies.
