Extract

Neuropsychology is blessed by a huge and burgeoning literature—but most practitioners are cursed by a lack of time. How can one possibly keep abreast of the latest developments in computational modelling, functional imaging and clinical practice, while sustaining research within one's own field of interest? Most of us rely quite heavily on review articles and tutorial chapters. Farah and Feinberg's edited set of review chapters Patient Based Approaches to Cognitive Neuroscience is a very useful and broad-ranging collection with extensive line art and grey-scale illustrations. This book would be a useful addition to one's personal library as well as a valuable source of readings for advanced students or clinical trainees. Farah, Feinberg and their publishers are to be congratulated in providing such a valuable work.
