[Spencer Kimber]

Very comprehensive book, covering big picture ideas, down to the smallest details. It's a good one to skim through and come back to as a reference, when needed.

Thinking about brain innovations, especially given the recent news on HD treatment in humans. :)

[Michael Alello]

Very Information heavy, laborious read.
