A great collection of SRyC's drawings - some never before published. There are also some beautiful modern images, including an astonishing one of mouse pyramidal cells from A. Wertz et al. Science 349[2015]: 70-74. The accompanying text is nothing special. ( ) As an art book it failed to catch my interest: very repetitive. The drawings simply were not intended as art, and that shows. This is not to play down Cajal's skills as a draftsman or scientist, not at all - it's just that, for me, these drawings don't do anything. Drab, boring to look at. A matter of taste, obviously. As a science book on the brain, neurons and nerves, it is too fragmented to be of use. However, it should be of tremendous interest to students of the history of neuroscience.

Santiago Ramo n y Cajal (1852-1934) was the father of modern neuroscience and an exceptional artist. He devoted his life to the anatomy of the brain, the body's most complex and mysterious organ. His superhuman feats of visualization, based on fanatically precise techniques and countless hours at the microscope, resulted in some of the most remarkable illustrations in the history of science. Beautiful Brain presents a selection of his exquisite drawings of brain cells, brain regions, and neural circuits with accessible descriptive commentary.
