I suspect most reviewers here are far more academic than I as my education finished at GCSE :). However I've maintained a layman's interest in popular psychology and brain stuff for years.
I picked this up on an impulse to really learn in more depth about how the brain really works. Bearing in mind my education level, I've found it clear and readable. I did pick it out after reading other reviews and I have to say I agree with them. Well worth picking up if you are either an amatuer like me, interested in understanding in much greater depth. I cannot comment on the detail needed by medical students however LOL. It looks pretty comprehensive to me!

Summary: A very useful book to any man who is struggling with less than pleasing performance.
This book approaches the problems of PE in a very simple, logical fashion. Michael Metz goes into useful detail about the many causes of PE, helps the reader to diagnose their own problems and suggests a range of simple exercises to improve performance. He offers no amazing solutions (because there are none in this area, despite what others may claim), just straight forward advice.
Metz's techniques are very easy to follow if you are prepared to devote the necessary time and effort to them (and I would definately advise this). Some seem a little "silly" or mechanical, however all have a purpose and are backed up with good explanations. ... Read More:

I LOVED this book. It is absoloutley brilliantly written, clear, helpful, interesting and very easy to understand. I have used it myself for Degree level work, but could be used for any reason really. Relevant to child protection, childrens rights, social policy, children & the state etc. HIGHLY recommended and incrediably useful for these areas.

For anyone who is relatively new to moths (and like me has thus far concentrated on the 'macros') this book makes an excellent first purchase when venturing into the world of the 'micros'. The text is clear and well laid out and the photographs give excellent quality images of the whole group. I feel that compared to 'Skinner' (which handles the 'macros' excellently) it is not as good in terms of value for money (Goater describes 208 species and Skinner approximately 850) but this is really the only work of it's kind. The value for money aspect is the only reason in my opinion that the book receives 4 and not 5 stars.
For those wishing to become more involved, there is adequate reference to identification from genitalia examination where appropriate ... Read More:
