Summary: Good introduction to Neuronal Modeling, maybe outdated.
Comment: I read this book as part of a Robotics Research project. It is a good introduction to Neuronal Modeling, and it was the first technical handbook of computational neuroscience. The book is a series of 13 articles on topics such as computer simulations of neural circuits, biophysical mechanisms for computation in neurons, etc. Each chapter concludes with a description of the model discussed and the details of its implementation on the computer. Since it is a series of articles, with many authors, the book feels a little bit fragmented. However, it is put together nicely and must have been skillfully edited. The book is easy to read, as well as interesting.

The book should be of interest to a variety of people in Medicine and Technology (other than the people in the specific field), but especially to those who work with Artificial Neural Networks. An interested layman could also read this book. I have to admit that I have not read the second edition of this book, but hopefully it is equally good, in addition to being more up to date, so the second edition would probably be the one you should buy first.
