Highly recommended
This book is a keeper. It's been ~3 decades since I took a science course at the collegiate level, & wasn't thrilled at needing to take this course, esp. when it involved WAY more biology than psychology. Without this book, I would have floundered. Its detail and graphics are superb. References to the latest knowledge base regarding brain functions & their psychological ramifications both intrigue & inspire. Real-life stories offer perspective. The author is most definitely a respected expert in this field. I'm sure I will utilize this book as reference material in the future.
