This text was not the best, but it was helpful. It is geared of course towards a higher level of comprehension. I hope everyone finds this text as helpful as I have
Detailed to say the least

I have to say this text is very interesting but not clear at all times. It's got loads of information jammed into a book that's rather thin for a college text but it's very informative. My only problem? It's so detailed that you can barely make out what any of it means. Also, the glossary is not as complete as it should be, but it does give plenty of latin prefixes and suffixes to help aid in the translation of scientific jargon. If they had put in about five or so more chapters (or at least that amount in pages) they could have explained confusing concepts more and avoid just jamming as many neurocranial bones as they can figure out in one paragraph.
