Several of the books listed in "The Great Brain Books, Revisited" are the same as those I recommend here. One book, though, I was surprised to see The Dana Foundation include. (I have blogged about the science of Jill Bolte Taylor in the past here and here.)
From the introduction to the list:
In 1999, Cerebrum published a list of books about the brain, guiding regular readers to “the great books, past and present, that capture the unfolding story of the brain and how brain research is changing our ideas about memory and emotion, life span and language, neurological disorders and psychiatric syndromes.”
Eleven years later, the need for such a list is even greater—more than 30,000 brain-related books in English are in print or will soon be published, according to Bowker’s Books in Print. What is a reader to do?
