Reviews

This is a valuable contribution to the history of the brain in general and aphasia in particular. The book has much to offer both novices and seasoned veterans, and I recommend it heartily. - David W. Carroll in PsycCRITIQUES Milestones in the History of Aphasia will be the definitive text in this area for many years to come: It is itself an important milestone in our understanding of aphasia. - Prof John C Marshall and Dr Jennifer M Gurd, Oxford University Department of Clinical Neurology, UK
