Principles and Practice of Behavioral Neurology and Neuropsychology

Summary: Fine Introduction to Behavioral Neurology/Neuropsychology
Review: Directed to a professional audience, this fine introduction to Behavioral Neurology and Neuropsychology is also accessible to the intelligent layperson. Dr. Rizzo, who is a pioneer in the emerging field of Neuroergonomics, and Dr. Eslinger present a clear and coherent picture of the current issues and topics in the field.

This is a valuable addition to the library of psychiatrists and psychologists, as well as neurologists.

Summary: Vita Padding/Door Stop
Review: The authors are apparently in need of adding a "book" to their vitae and believe that making it grossly overlarge will improve their academic status. There is virtually no reason to buy this book because it lacks focus for subspcialtists and is too quirky and out of date (and too long) for a general text. That is, there are many much better texts for medical students, researchers, psychologists, neuropsychiatrists and experts in all the subdiciplines of behavioral neurosciences. I strongly suspect that this work will vanish from the list of books in print because it is useful to no one and has little to credit it outside of two or three decent chapters, a poor hit rate for a work with more than 50
