Dear Dave,
I have found the following text extremely useful, including for
teaching purposes:
The Human Brain: An Introduction to Its Functional Anatomy
by John, Ph.D. Nolte
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0323013201/qid=1032353050/sr=1-1/ref=sr_1_1/104-7352006-8115932?v=glance&s=books
This textbook also has a very good companion human brain atlas:
The Human Brain: in Photographs and Diagrams
by John Nolte, Jay B. Angevine
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0323011268/ref=pd_bxgy_img_2/104-7352006-8115932?v=glance&s=books
Both are very comprehensive and accessible, as well as very reasonably
priced for this kind of texts.
In addition, internet resources abound, though you would have to sift
through them yourself: a useful summary of such resources (including
hard-copy published books and links to amazon.com) can be found at:

Yours,
Kalina
