- Wonderful intro to neural systems
- This book is extremely well written, interesting, and understandable. If you have not studied anything of neurology, it is the best first step. I am very picky about books, and this is a keeper.

Emotions and feelings are almost completely absent, odd considering "psychology" is in the title.
He's Canadian, and has a wonderful and quirky writing style that I've mostly seen from Canadian authors. - 2007-04-25, 2 of 2 people found this review helpful, Rated:
