Format:Paperback
The primer on the ANS is an excellent text for undergraduate students. The sections are split into anatomy, physiology, pharmacology and a few sections on pathology. Each chapter is written by an invited author and so this has the feel of a proceedings supplement (except these are normally ridiculously priced). Each chapter is only a few pages long with current references and is ideal for undergraduate courses.
Easily one of the best books on my shelf.
