Check the bindings on your textbook please?
The binding on this book is falling apart, and unfortunately because of the textbook is heavily used for the class I'll need to be careful about how I use this until it's returned at the end of the semester. My grades can't afford having to return and wait for another copy to use for the rest of the semester...

Fantastic book on neuroscience, though be warned: it is from a more psychological outlook. I felt as though enough was covered to give you a good sense of each individual subject with extra resources should you care to venture out in those particular fields. Beautifully written, easy to understand, and filled with helpful pictures and images. I rented this book but in the future I would like to purchase it to keep as a reference.

This book was great for studying! I'm guilty of often renting "required" textbooks for class and not actually reading them, but I'm so glad I had this book as a resource this semester. Gazzaniga gives very detailed but readable explanations of the subject matter.

This book is simply fabulous, the detail supplied in this book is well worth the money. Not to mention that its hardcover which makes it that much more impressive. Using it for my cognitive neuroscience class can't wait to read more into it. Highly Recommend this book.

I bought this as a gift for someone starting school for neurosciences. According to him, it has all you need as the basic text; which it appears to be for universities teaching neuroscience. He likes it, but then, he's a brain-iac.

Great price for temporary use. Has some writing in the book from previous users and the binding is loose. But overall, a good deal as long as I do not get dinged for the prior use wear and tear.

Came earlier than expected! The book is exactly what you’d expect, looseleaf wrapped in a plastic wrap and shipped in typical book packaging. Love the book itself, not too detailed for beginners but interesting enough to keep you entertained. Obviously if this is the type of stuff that keeps you fascinated.

In my last college year (Medicine and surgery) I had used it with a lot of satisfaction. It's well written, simple and the authors explain a lot of difficult concepts in a way so easy that a child can understand. One of the best book to begin with the cognitive neuroscience.

Great book with a comprehensive view of the subject matter. It's a textbook hence a vey rigorous one. The authors have attempted to make the book interesting and they have succeeded in this. However, be prepared for an involved learning when you take this book to read.
