Every structure is depicted in multiple meaningful pictures. Nice short introductions and interesting embryology section. It definitely is a great value for the price. I used it in a neuroanatomy introductory class (graduate level) and I will keep this book for future reference.

This is a fantastic book and a bargain for the price. The photography is stunning. The choice of anatomical views and overall organization is superb. There is also a lot of histology content and it is well done. The same is true for the diagrams.

If you are taking a rigorous neuroanatomy class, this is a must have book. If you are not interested in this level of detail, it is still a great book to own at this price. I don't think you will find anything even close to this quality for the cost.

The book is mostly color plates; however, the descriptive text is useful and concise. I give this text my highest recommendation and have no reservations about it. It is good for advanced, intermediate and beginner level studies. In short, it is a highly accessible text even for psychologists and therapists who don't normally need this level of detail.

If you are a physician and what to show what is going on to a patient, this book is a perfect visual aid. However, the structures are real human brains, not diagrams. This may be a problem for some patients because there are also some very "visceral" cross sections through the head and skull that might be a lot for some people to handle.
