This accessible undergraduate text is the first to make teaching the neuropsychology course easier. Rains provides adequate depth and explanatory material to inspire student interest and motivation, and his in-depth approach not only makes the material easier for students to grasp, but reveals the exciting questions of the field remaining to be answered. PRINCIPLES OF HUMAN NEUROPSYCHOLOGY’s other hallmark is to foster an appreciation for the interdisciplinary nature of neuropsychology by employing a levels of analysis approach—from single cell recording to the effects of large lesions.

4.0 out of 5 stars
flawed, but impressive,
By Anderson McDonald (Washington) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Principles of Human Neuropsychology (Hardcover)
While I agree with some of observations made by reviewers to this work, (the style of presentation could be tightened and crisper), this is nonetheless, an impressive undertaking. Rains demonstrates skill and knowledge of the subject and seems to be targeting those interested in beginning a path towards neuropsychology as a profession. The scope of the book is massive, as would any undertaking of this nature. While not for everyone, Rains has created a book that can be informative and educational. This is not easy material, folks, nor should it be presented as such. With supplimental material, and an experienced professor teaching a course, this book would make a good addition to any program.
1.0 out of 5 stars
Confusing even when Dr Rains himself is teaching the class,
By A Customer
This review is from: Principles of Human Neuropsychology (Hardcover)
This textbook, requires a level of understanding that is not found in most undergraduate psychology students. Even when Dr. Rains himself was teaching the class, the book was entirely confusing. This textbook is not user friendly and certainly does not achieve the goal of teaching psychology students about cognitive neuropsychology.
1.0 out of 5 stars
Disappointing,
By A Customer
This review is from: Principles of Human Neuropsychology (Hardcover)
This textbook is one of the poorest works I've had to deal with in college. The materal is not organized well, the topics are out of date, and the chapters are difficult to read. I agree with other reviewers that the book needed to be reworked. Although Rains may know his stuff, he fails to show he can communicate that knoweldge in a way that is both interesting and educational.
