(3) 4-6 Illustrated by Keith Kasnot & Eric Brace. In accessible prose that moves sensibly from the big picture to details, Newquist explains current understanding of the human brain, from components and their functions to pathologies and memory enhancers. Numerous visuals extend the text, including color-coded chapters, photos, state-of-the-art images, and occasional cartoons. Refreshing strengths of this traditional presentation include its thoroughness, clarity, and freedom from gimmickry. Websites. Ind.
