5.0 out of 5 stars Great Neuroscience Book, May 9, 2003

By A Customer

I just finished using this book for an undergraduate course in neuroscience. It was one of the best biology books I have ever obtained. I have since read the sections the course did not have the time to cover and enjoyed them all. The figures are excellent and greatly aid in your learning. The authors are even somewhat comical at some points. In all, I would highly recommend this book for the introductory neuroscientist!

3.0 out of 5 stars Not a definitive resource, June 7, 2004

By	Mike Landis (Chicago, IL United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Neuroscience: Exploring the Brain (Hardcover)

This book has had praise heaped upon it by previous reviewers. I'd like to put that in perspective. As an undergraduate text or a general encyclopedic reference for the unitiated, this book is reasonably comprehensive and contains substantial high-quality illustrations. However as a reference for more advanced students, there is insufficient detail to motivate serious discussion. I find "Principles of Neural Science" by Kandel, Schwartz, and Jessell far more useful despite being a year older than Bear, et al. If the goal is to lift artwork for a pleasingly graphical PowerPoint presentation, this book is a fantastic resource, but if you want more than jargon and an introduction to the topic (albeit comprehensive), I'd look elsewhere.

4.0 out of 5 stars Ideal for an overview of neuroscience., January 9, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Neuroscience: Exploring the Brain (Hardcover)

This textbook is used as the primary text for introductory neuroscience at Brown University, which is one of the best classes at the college. The authors all are professors and experts in the field and make the study of neuroscience come alive in this text. The subjects range from chemical and molecular neurobiology to sleep, from memory to vision to auditory systems to language processing. I highly recommend this book for anyone interested in knowing how the brain and nervous system work.
