Review # 1 was written on 2014-08-03 00:00:00 Brandon Pillsbury This is the book on the brain that will change your worldview. I could hope for a more simple version of this book as this book can get hard in some parts. All chapters start off with being very easy to understand and read and will tell you about the science on the area. Then slowly the chapter will become harder but still understandable and end off with hard statistics and studies on neurons that only biologists will get. There is something for all in this book and it's still one of my most memorable book experiences in my life. I still meet people who say that the brain is a big mystery and that psychology cannot say anything about the brain, sex differences and such - well, it can't if you refuse to look into it. It is right here, the modern science of the most positivistic psychology we have. This is psychology basics and something everyone interested in talking about psychology should read. Neuropsychology and evolutionary psychology is the 2 areas where psychology gets positivistic and the only 2 areas that discover the nature of man - it's the future of all psychology. The authors have done an excellent job. I look forward to reading it again, I can't wait. This is a treat for all interested in how the human brain works!

Review # 2 was written on 2012-06-03 00:00:00 Chue Yang Initially, the material seemed fairly daunting as I flipped through the pages of my newly rented Biopsych textbook. But as I actually dove into the content, it was wonderfully illustrated with fascinating images and diagrams of concepts accompanied by marvelous, in-depth explanations. I will confess that at a certain point, the details might get a tad overwhelming, but nothing a good tea/coffee break from reading will not fix. Overall, a joy to read for fun, as well as a most valuable resource for my Biopsychology course.
