Beautifully Illustrated

This book should really be read in conjuction with the Introduction Mind and Brain book (by Angus Gellatly). Here the authors give a more contemporary work on the human brain. Recent development are explained with clear and beautiful illustrations. This is compared to the latter which gives a more historical view of the human brain in terms of our understanding of it and what has been done by neuroscientists and psychologists. I would recommend thisbook as a start for those interested in knowing more aboutthe human brain.
