The Tale of the Duelling Neurosurgeons: The History of the Human Brain as Revealed by True Stories of Trauma, Madness, and Recovery by Sam Kean

This was a nice refresher on some things I learned in college, as well as some new stories and examples I hadn't come across before. The style made it easy to read and understand, explained well without going into too much medical detail or jargon.

A relatively faithful pop-science portrayal of many historical case studies from cognitive neuroscience. As someone with a PhD in this field this is a book I would recommend to a family member who is curious about what I do but can't be bothered with the specifics. Would make a great summer reading assignment for an AP Psychology course

I tore through this book like a Wolverine, if I do say so myself.

EDIT: Books aren't authors. Just remember that.
