There is no comprehensive introductory textbook that I've seen that
deals with neural networks in anything more than a cursory treatment.

The standard reference is Rumelhart and McClelland's two volume work
"Parallel Distributed Processing.", published by the MIT press.

The first few chapters are not particularly
technical at all.  As a physics undergraduate, I found some of the
references to psychology works somewhat obscure, but the basic concepts and
mathematics were quite clear and simple.
