 Paperback International Edition ( eah00 )
I was able to get the international edition for less (it is a paperback). The content is the same.

 Excellent for basic neuropsych ( redfraggle37 )
This book is clear and does an excellent job of teaching a beginner the basics of neuropsych. Carlson understands this material can at times be dry and difficult and is able to write anecdotally and scientifically.
|
even for non-psy majors ( txchild09 )
This book is really easy to, but that does not mean that it does not provide you with good information. In fact, I think the book is informative while being quite concise. The diagrams are nice too.

Great resource...but beware of buying used ( donahuek69 )
This book provides a strong basis for Neuropsychological studies. Very easy to read and the Neuroscience Animations Disc is essential for examinations and a firmer grasp of the material. There is little emphasis, however, on the neurophysiological basis of the major Psychiatric disorders.
Though pleased with the quality of this book, I was pissed off that the "used" copy that I purchased was actually a "free" teacher's edition. Additionally, it said on the cover: "free copy--not for resale" (which probably violates copyright laws).

Love this book ( squeakerth2 )
I borrowed the 4th ed. of this book from a friend of mine to write up a lecture on synaptic transmissions. It was the clearest, most well-written physio psych book I think I've ever seen. Usually when psychologist try to write about biology they end up doing things like describing neurons as "a fluid-filled balloon" (no joke. Actually saw that in my intro textbook), but Carlson is clear yet intelligent. I would definitely recommend this book and hope to use it in my classes in the future.
