Customer Reviews from Amazon :
Updated and Fantastic
I am glad I held out for this new edition. There is a lot of new material in this edition, with the same fantastic format with summary boxes of the most important points. The pictures seem larger in this edition too. Extremely useful, practical and easy to read.

Excellent introduction to cytology

I am a second year pathology resident who is just starting cytology. I read through the gyn section of cibas before starting and my attendings were impressed with my knowledge base. The writing is very clear and the pictures are improved from the last edition. Cibas includes a chapter on lab management which contains helpful points for the RISE examination. Also, the online features use the new expert consult website, which I consider a positive.

簡介(Book Description from Barnes and Noble):

The most authoritative cognitive neuroscience text is also the most accessible.

The first textbook for the course, and still the market leader, Cognitive Neuroscience has been thoroughly refreshed, rethought, and reorganized to enhance students’ and instructors’ experience. A stunning, all new art program conveys data and concepts clearly, and new chapter-opening Anatomical Orientation figures help students get their bearings. The table of contents and the chapters themselves have been reorganized to improve the logical flow of the narrative, and the world renowned author team has kept the book fully up to date on the latest research in this fast moving field.

Customer Reviews from Amazon :
The text in the field
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.

Excellent Book Highly Recommend

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.
