Editorial Reviews
From the Back Cover
Clear, witty, and inspiring, Pinel's third edition builds on the considerable strengths of its predecessors—strong research base, and comprehensive topical coverage—and adds a totally redesigned illustration package. Now, this outstanding book has an art and photo program to match, with the majority of art redesigned and enhanced to better complement Pinel's wide range of pedagogy.

The perfect anatomy text for biology "dummies",
By M Miller (Texas) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Biopsychology (Hardcover)
As a student in a Masters Psychology program, I've found this text accessible, interesting, and easy to study. I've also Emailed the author twice with questions and heard back from him. This is the best textbook I've ever come across in 23 years of academia. Thank you, John Pinel!

A little technical but very very good,
This review is from: Biopsychology (Hardcover)
Be warned that Amazon links to a "paperback" edition that turns out to be the study guide associated with this textbook (11/25/99, they may fix it by the time you read this). Buying both isn't a bad idea, but you should know. The author apparently also made a "coloring book," complete with text pages facing blank brains and cutouts for checking if you've filled in the right places, for those who may want a different tool for learning where all the little bits actually go. (Seems like a brilliant idea to me.)
