Understanding Your Brain
by
Rebecca Treays
A Usborne Science for Beginners book, Understanding Your Brain
is filled with cartoony illustrations and LOTS of information. A great
take on neurology, psychology, craniology and psychiatry. Very, very
cool.

From the site: "Most people (even many who work on the brain) assume
that what you see is pretty much what your eye sees and reports to your
brain. In fact, your brain adds very substantially to the report it
gets from your eye, so that a lot of what you see is actually "made
up" by the brain." Try these simple experiments. You'll be
surprised!
