*Models of the Mind: How physics, mathematics, and engineering have shaped
our understanding of the brain* by Grace Lindsay

Models of the Mind is a popular science book that covers the history and
present of computational neuroscience. Each chapter focuses on an
individual topic ranging from single neuron models (e.g., leaky
integrate-and-fire and Hodgkin-Huxley) through to population models such as
the Hopfield Network and onto models of behavior. The book is geared toward
a general audience and may be a useful resource for undergraduate courses.
