"Beautiful and Informative" according to Amy. Like Cajal's drawings, this book provides a balance between beautiful images and information. The images, many of which have not been previously shown or reproduced, are truly the work of a master artist and scientist. The essays accompanying the book provide context for the scope. The quality of the reproductions are beautiful, and the commentary by Newman and others is Fabulous book. The quality of the reproductions are beautiful, and the commentary by Newman and others is articulate, and insightfully. A great gift for artists and scientists..
