"The Brain Atlas serves as an authoritative reference workand learning tool for the brain and central nervous system. Thework is essential fo rthe personal libraries of students,practioners, and researchers in neuroscience biology, psychiatry,and psychology, among other disciplines, as well as for librariessupporting both undergraduate and graduate course in school ofmedicine or health care facilities. The Brain Atlas is aworthwhile addition to any such collection, either as a replacementof or supplement to previous editions of the title."(E-Streams, December 2008) "This reference book will serve as an outstanding resource forall students of neuroscience ... .This Atlas will become a muchsought after companion." (Journal of Tropical Pediatrics,August 2008) "...excellent contribution to the neurosciences. It shouldbe included in any neurosurgical, neurological, or neurosciencesdepartmental libraries."
