Wonderful intro to neural systems

This book is extremely well written, interesting, and understandable. If you have not studied anything of neurology, it is the best first step. I am very picky about books, and this is a keeper. I'm a nursing student, and having finished the nursing prerequisites, this is a good plus to understand a major aspect of physiology. A couple comments/warnings: It covers a lot of basic physiology/anatomy/genetics, so it may seem like a lot of review if you've had pre-medical training. Emotions and feelings are almost completely absent, odd considering "psychology" is in the title. He's Canadian, and has a wonderful and quirky writing style that I've mostly seen from Canadian authors.
