This book has tons of information, but you can never become bored due to its excellent drawings and artworks. I read the epub version but judging by the quality of the book, I wish I had the real book in my collection.

I tor this book for Christmas a few years ago, and it had a bunch of interesting information in there, and some pretty cool quizzed and stuff, I guess. The riddles were kind of hard, but that's 'cos I'm not a genius. ;)

This book introduces the achievements of past geniuses while explaining the workings of the body and brain.

The DK series is the perfect teaching material for Visual Learner, but I thought the title was disproportionate.

Very fun book exploring the brain and thinking systems. Great for the car. You'll want your own copy b/c there are games to write on, etc. (Library copy not so good.) Extremely interesting and moves forward quickly. Neat biographies included. Title not exactly what it's all about, though.
