i actually like these books -- i have them on my kindle and were able to take them all with me on a trip to china -- but the production values are awful. misspellings abound in an embarrassing way that i just stop noticing, but it certainly makes it seem as if they put minimum effort into releasing this -- essentially, they took one large neuroscience text, and divided it into functional units. on the plus side, it is streamlined and easier to wrap my head around than a more comprehensive text such as Principles of Neuroscience, which is a vastly superior text but is the medical school canonical text and takes itself too seriously.
so i would say, they are cheap in price and informative, but really embarrassing in its errors - one almost wonders if the people that actually produced the book understand english. i'm glad i have them. for example, i was reading the parietal lobe text at a coffee shop, which i could never do with most neuroscience texts. but i think most people would find the quality of the production irritating.
so, it's a mixed bag. it depends on what you are seeking. for me, at the price, it is like ripping apart a monolithic text, and being able to carry small pieces around that are not deep but broad. hopefully that makes sense. i read these books as self-study, and have at least 4 different neuroscience text books, and find each has their strengths and weaknesses. if you only buy one neuroscience book, i would not recommend these puppies. but as auxiliary they are fun to have.
