A remarkably broad, academic account of consciousness

This book is a good place to crib quotes for philosophy essays and to get a background in the science and philosophy of consciousness. What surprised me was the large number of references and hyperlinks. There is a slight bias towards the physical idea of consciousness but the authors have made an effort to include dualism and other ideas. From the text it looks like the contributors have a strong scientific background. This is no bad thing. Overall it is probably a much better, and more balanced starting point for the student of consciousness than popular books like "Consciousness Explained" and "The Conscious Mind" which support only one point of view.
