Book Reviews of The Complete Idiot's Guide to Understanding the Brain

Book Review: A great read!
Summary: 5 Stars

A great introduction to the brain. This book is a must read before you jump in to other books on neuroscience that may go in to many confusing details. It doesn't skip any aspects, going straight in to history, anatomy, and details of the brain.

Neuroscience is called a must for philosophers, by Patricia Churchland, in her book Brain-Wise Studies in Neurophilosophy.

I would also suggest greater knowledge of neuroscience to psychologists!

As I said, a great starting point, and it's not too "Idiot's Guide" to just be a starting point either... you can end with this book and be satisfied.
