The Brain Book: Development, Function, Disorder, Health - Softcover

[Review of previous edition:] An informative general introduction, this will well serve the basic science collection. (Gilbert Taylor Booklist 2012-12-01)

[Review of previous edition:] There is something almost magical about a beautiful, colorful, well-illustrated book... There is hardly a single page without a full color photograph or illustration. The topics covered are wide ranging.... It is definitely a useful special topic book in upper middle school and high school. It would be particularly useful for a teacher who is interested in preparing some background information for elementary or middle level students.... This would make a good classroom or library reference book.... Those outside the education ranks would also benefit from the use of this book to look up items that might be if interest.

[Review of previous edition:] A deluxe hardcover describing all the brain's functions, disorders, and diseases, written by a team of international brain science experts. (Publisher's Weekly 2012-08-13)

[Review of previous edition:] Owning a book on the brain is a no brainer, as the saying goes. It is an essential book for yourself and your family. (Shelf Life 2013-02-01)

[Review of previous edition:] Jaw-dropping images--MRIs, micrographs (photographs taken through a microscope), and detailed graphics--which display the brain like you've never seen, or thought of it, before. But think of it we should.... There's much to learn, and all of it is fascinating.... This volume is so much more than a beautifully illustrated coffee table book, it is both fascinatingly detailed and extraordinarily readable. No reference library, or lover of good books, should be without a copy. (Tracey Tufnail Vancouver Sun 2013-03-30)

[Review of previous edition:] This could have easily been a very dull tome. It isn't. (Randy Midzain Winnipeg Free Press 2012-12-01)
