A couple of things about face recognition: a new "Brain Briefings" from the Society for Neuroscience about the role of the amygdala in interpreting facial expressions, and a review of a new book: Perception of Faces, Objects, and Scenes: Analytic and Holistic Processes. I haven't read it (yet), but one of the co-editors was one of my supervisors for a while when I was doing my doctoral thesis, so of course huge credibility right there! This is not however a book for the general reader; I mention it for the serious researcher.
