An example[1] of these academic 800+ pager "handbooks" from Neuroscience: "Cognitive Neuroscience: The Biology of the Mind" by Gazzaniga et al. I don't own a physical copy of it yet (only digital), but I do have a copy of an equally outstanding book[2] called "Neuroscience: Exploring the Brain" by Bear et al. An excellent thing about this book is that each chapter has a small section called "Path to Discovery" where leading researchers on a given topic (including Nobel winners such as Eric Kandel) briefly share their story of how they arrived at their discoveries. Another excellent aspect of this book is its rich set of visual illustrations of complex topics. It makes learning a joy. I find their high price justified.
