"Introduction to Neuropsychology, 2nd Edition provides a concise overview to the diverse and fascinating topics within this field. The chapters are up-to-date, well referenced and theoretical debates are explained in meaningful terms; particularly welcome are the contributions from neuroimaging and the stimulating impact this has made to neuropsychology in general. A highly recommended read." - Dr Paul Richardson, Brain Behaviour & Cognition Group, Sheffield Hallam University, UK
