	The Cognitive Neuroscience of Vision (Fundamentals of Cognitive Neuroscience)
	By: Martha J. Farah ISBN: 0631214038 Publisher: Wiley-Blackwell Release Date: 22 June, 2000 Bioscience book rank: 155689	I have been studying cognitive neuroscience for a few years now, and because it is such a diverse field (and rapidly expanding), keeping up with all of the different sub-disciplines is a Herculean effort. Vision is probably one of the most established and complex disciplines in the cog neuro field, so it's helpful to find a book that aims to summarize it, and does so admirably well. It covers neuropsychology, psychophysics, neurobiology, and neuroimaging. Although this is by no means an authoritative volume (and perhaps could have used color plates for illustration), it serves as a good reference for non-vision scientists, beginning and intermediate students, as well as a refresher for those who may have forgotten some of the basics along the way. Pure unfocused, academic self-sitmulation
	The Neurobiology of Learning: Perspectives from Second Language Acquisition
	By: John H. Schumann, Sheila E. Crowell, Nancy E. Jones, Namhee Lee, Sara Ann Schuchert, Lee Alexandra Wood ISBN: 0805861416 Publisher: Lawrence Erlbaum Associates Release Date: January, 2004 Bioscience book rank: 1038152	The authors provide a remarkable clear explanation of the executive and attentional control systems from a global brain paradigm. Inadvertently explaining ADHD with up-to-date neurobiological science, the acquisition of a second language has many parallels to AHDH. The book leave's aside the out-dated neuroscience of "attention, impulsivity, and hyperactivity" for newer and more accurate data in explaining ADHD biology. SLA also matches the learning of compensatory strategies used in treating ADHD and other similar impairments. This is a fantastic subject to write a book about. Unfortunately, much of the research it uses is out of date and no longer applies. It also is very one-sided. The authors seem to have formed their own conclusions and found research to support them, without taking into consideration all the research that contradicts these conclusions. This wouldn't be such a bad thing if it weren't that they are stating these conclusions as fact instead of point of view. <br /> <br />This is still a reasonably decent reference as it's difficult to find such a broad collection of research on this one narrow subject. It's just very misleading to any reader who has not done any previous studying of neurobiology.
