The book has received good reviews but I especially recommend the 7 vivid "portraits" that you can find at: http://www.newscientist.com/gallery/scenes-of-thought-the-brain-in-pictures

The picture above shows growing axons and their scaffoldings reaching out to make connections with other cells. The picture is false-colored yellow using an immunohistochemistry technique that uses dyed antibodies to tag molecules revealing cellular structure.
