excellent book ... The book takes a modern, cognitive viewpoint but an older behaviourist perspective is detectable in places. * Christopher D. Ward, JNNP, Vol. 57, No. 5, 5/94 *

begins with a fascinating history of the knowledge of frontal lobe function ... the technical aspects of the book are of good quality ... The illustrations are clear, the writing is lucid, the references are copious, and the price is modest. The intended audience would seem to be largely neuropsychologists and basic neuroscientists ... there are some interesting clinical pearls ... Furthermore, the awareness gained from a reading of this book about the nature of the subtle deficits from frontal lobe dysfunction will certainly lead to an increase in their detection and a better appreciation of their impact upon recovery to normal life ... its perusal is certainly worthwhile to anyone dealing with patients with frontal lobe dysfunction, and it would be a superb source for those needing more detailed information. * Cole H. Giller, University of Texas Medical Center, J. Neurosurg/Volume 78/Febryart 1993 *
