Description

"This is an admirable book. With his background in psychiatry and neuropharmacology and with his lively awareness of the history and social relevance of his topic, Snyder is almost uniquely placed to write about this subject. Though by no means the first popular account of neuropharmacology, it is without doubt the best one so far." Times Higher Education Supplement
