Missing chapters 6, 7 and 21. For me the important omission is chapter 21 his chapter on perception and belief. What a waste. If these important chapters are missing, what else is missing under the guise of having an active table of contents and a pretty picture on the front. Don't bother purchasing this.
I've been willing to revisit the second volume, particularly the discussion on will, and its relation to attention, and I was once more stunned by James accuracy and prescience. By and large, James century old writing is in alignment (and conversation) with contemporary approaches in neuroscience/neurophilosophy.As another pleasant surprise, Kindle edition of the book was, far as I can tell, free of typos and erroneous punctuation/paragraphing (Used to be a frequent problem with 1$ Kindle editions of classic texts).
It's surprisingly rigorous when it comes to the brain and behavior, but then it gets fuzzy and mystical. It was painful reading about the vivisection experiments, remembering that in the late 19th century, many such experiments on animals were done with no anesthestic. If the dogs were too noisy, the experimenter just cut their vocal cords.
It isn't mentioned in the description, but this is both volumes 1 and 2 combined into one book. You don't have to search around  for a second piece.
A great part of the history of Psychology. James was a great thinker and clear writer. He gave the discipline an enormous boost in his time. Part of the magic of this classic is that he was unencumbered by huge amounts of data requiring explanation and interpretation.
Notice: there are many diagrams in James' original work, which are not at all included in the kindle edition. Also, the menu is not accurate, making some chapters mixed up with others and difficult to find
