Watson and the members of his lab at Simon Fraser University in Vancouver, Canada study hormonal aspects of the structure and function of the nervous system, with support from the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC).

Paid for a new copy, and received a used one. No decent package indicating it was new, the cover had a “water hose” tag with some type of honey substance attatched.

    The links to the website that are supposed to accompany the text all don't work. One gave me a warning that it was unsafe and trying to steal my data, the other one brought me to a 404 error.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Life altering content, amazing workmanship.
    Reviewed in Canada on May 4, 2019

    What can I say, in order to understand this book, the mind needs to own a machine to process all the data. Wow, this is some mind altering insanity! What we will do for a degree!

    Aside from the content, the actual book craftsmanship is superb. The dimensions are perfectly described and the right angle cuts are perfect. The pages feel thick, quality, and feel strong. They didn’t spare any money fabricating the book, the best of wood would have been cut to make the paper used to print on. The book had a faint woodsy and glue smell to it, which is to be expected, soni suggest not falling asleep on it as the smell will linger in your nostrils for a while.
