Phenomenal piece of work. I have never seen a better encyclopedia in my life, let alone on a subject as complicated as the workings of the human brain. Hats off to Rita Carter and DK. Must buy for anyone interested in the subject.

Mind-blowing
Reviewed in Spain on 29 August 2018Verified Purchase
How can this book be only 27 euros? I'm a psychologist and have several books on neuroanatomy. I haven't gone through all of the book yet but the first impression is that it's the best I've seen so far to allow anyone interested in the brain to understand it's structure and functioning in an easy but also fairly detailed way. Must buy.

Brilliance!
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 14 October 2015Verified Purchase
This book is amazing. It arrived quickly and once opened was a complete joy. The illustrations are large, clear and engaging, the explanation for each section makes absolute sense and the array of fascinating information about the brain is easy to follow and wonderfully interlinked with the illustrations, diagrams and scans throughout the book. The book is divided into different sections too, making it easy to find information around the point you're interested in. I bought it for interesting reading alongside an Access Course and I am certain to say it was and is both helpful and intriguing and that owning it will be a real advantage when I go to university next year! It is important to note that the book does not explain every tiny facet of detail and that having pre-existing knowledge around the structure of the brain and the process of neurotransmission, to a very basic level, is important before trying to make sense of it.
