WOW! This is an incredibly illustrated and beautifully laid out book. The information is fantastic. It is suitable for undergraduate level or early graduate level biological psychology--- its not so detailed that it becomes dry and boring, yet, not too simple that it does the same. Its extremely easy to learn from and very up to date. The author, Dr. Kalat, blends in a bit of humor and the most interesting current topics in neuroscience. I highly recommend this text for your course or for an interested enthusiast. You will not be disappointed!

This was the textbook for a Neuroscience course I took. The layout is quite nice and makes for a good reference book if you haven't anything else. It is written very well and has great illustrations. However, overall I was disappointed that I didn't learn more from the book. I felt it just did not go deep enough into the various topics and many new research findings are not presented. This book was more of an introduction to the area. Having already taken an introductory course, I was not impressed. That being said, if you have not taken an introductory course maybe this book is for you.

The book overall is good. However, sometimes it is hard to understand what the author is trying to convey---it is as if the book is not written for the lay person--but a medical student. I bought the book for a phyisiological psychology class. I have to read over some parts of the chapters for better clarification. I do like the fact that the book came with a CD-Rom and that the book has a companion website.

Delivery was very fast but the book had a bit more random highlighting then expected. But overall I am happy with it.

Don't get me wrong, this book is in horrible condition. The spine is dis-attached from the book. It has been highlighted to an excess. But for the price, I will be okay. 14 dollars including shipping... wow I definitely felt accomplished when the kid next to me the first day of class had a used book sticker on his. The price for it used at the bookstore on campus was 150 dollars. Again, I feel completely satisfied for the condition of the book.

I was so happy about this book and the fact that the seller did a great job sending, packaging, and writing in detail the condition of this book. She also kept in in great condition.

This book was a big money saver for me. I was a little worried about how long it would actually take to get it due to the holidays but it came pretty fast. I would buy from this person again.

great resource, online version of book with extra exercises, gorgeous graphics and diagrams really bring the material to life. i was surprised by how much fun this book was. i had mistakenly assumed that the subject matter would be tedious and boring, but this text book proved me wrong. also comes with cd-rom

I was very satisfied with my purchase. By purchasing this book through amazon I saved about fifty dollars; the condition of the book was great and the delivery was prompt. Thank you!

I really like this book, given its seemingly boring subject matter. The author does a wonderful job of getting straight to the point, helping me better understand the given subjects. It also has wonderful analogies and pictures to go along with the text!
