Description: "This book was conceived early one evening at an outdoor table at a restaurant near my home. Barry and I were talking about our introductory Brain-Mind courses, his at Princeton University, mine at City College of New York. He asked me which textbook I used. I told him Id used several of the popular ones over the years. "They all have good qualities," I said. "But in my view, they all suffer from the same problem - too much extraneous detail." Barry felt the same way about the Biopsychology and Behavioral Neuroscience textbooks hed used. "When chapters are loaded with so much detail, students cant see the forest for the trees" he said. We both agreed: "Principles and key ideas first; details later""--
