Does the book address the issue of specialization in the professions and either exempt it or adapt it to the thesis?


No. The first part of the book explains neuro-plasticity with several examples and mentioning various experiments about the way the brain adapt quickly to external stimuli.

Then the author dives deep into the history of culture (oral, written, mass-media, internet). So far I haven't encountered any mention of how the mind of a "professional" wouldn't be affected by the distracting impulses of the internet and digital communication.
