Spark

The evidence is incontrovertible: Aerobic exercise physically remodels our brains for peak performance. Now in paperback, SPARK delivers John J. Ratey, M.D.'s fascinating and entertaining journey through the mind-body connection, presenting startling research to prove that exercise is truly our best defense against everything from depression to ADD to addiction to aggression to menopause to Alzheimer's. Filled with amazing case studies (such as the revolutionary fitness program in Naperville, Illinois, which has put this school district of 19,000 kids first in the world of science test scores), SPARK is the first book to explore comprehensively the connection between exercise and the brain.
