The Mind's Machine, introduced in 2012, was written to impart the core concepts of behavioral neuroscience to students in a diverse range of disciplines, including not only psychology and the other life sciences, but art, philosophy, media studies, linguistics, and the like. Using streamlined
text, full-color art, novel pedagogical features, and real-life examples and analogies, The Mind's Machine, Third Edition, engages students new to neuroscience without sacrificing accuracy. This accessible, reader-friendly book is appropriate for brain and behavior, biopsychology, and physiological
psychology courses.

Industry Reviews

"As far as I'm concerned, The Mind's Machine is the best book of its kind on the market. The level of detail in some neuroscience/biopsych textbooks can be overwhelming to 200-level psychology students, but this book finds the sweet spot between too simple and too complex." - Scott Stoltenberg, University of Nebraska "Students had a favorable response to the book. Some have mentioned that the most important aspect of a textbook is the layout--i.e., they want information in manageable, logically demarcated and progressing chunks, with clear illustrations. This book is very strong in this area." - Laura Harrison, Tulane University "It is the best approximation of the text I would design. It has a great level of coverage for introducing neuroscience, not too easy or too detailed, pitched well. I am also pretty happy with the illustration package--first of all, full color is important to students and books should all feature this. Second, the illustrations are well developed in support of the text, make good sense even on the intuitive level." - Eric Wiertelak, Macalester College "I like how these boxes (Researchers at Work) present important information in a unique way. I do assign these, most of the time, as required reading. The students enjoy learning how the experiment was done, rather than just the findings." - Melissa Masiacampo, Wake Forest University
