 Take a peak at this above cover of "Portraits of the Mind: Visualizing the Brain from Antiquity to the 21st Century" by Carl Schoonover



 This book is is filled with brilliantly vivid full sized images and essays from scientists on the topic.  This looks like the most intriguing non-fiction I have seen in the while.     Perhaps it is because of the sheer beauty of it, or maybe it's because it is really about some interesting stuff- our minds, which most people tend to forget are inherently different than our brains.  This could be an interesting read, it's definitely an interesting topic.
