The first book written for a general audience that examines the mysteries of the human balance system, including why some researchers think Vincent Van Gogh may have suffered from Meniere's Disease, one of the most debilitating balance disorders; how a French physiologist first demonstrated a connection between balance and the inner ear with an experiment that caused pigeons to turn somersaults; why balance and cognitive skills seem to be interlinked; and how balance therapy is being used to treat children with dyslexia and ADHD.
