Reviews

Honorable Mention, 2016 Prose Award: Single Volume Reference/Science ""The author does an outstanding job of providing a definition for each term, general date of its first usage and the term's originator, alternate spellings, translations, earlier references, later synonyms, partly corresponding terms, and methodology."" --Doody's Health Sciences Book Review ""It is a monumental work that will attract the interest of anybody interested in the history of neuroanatomy, particularly of the identification and naming of its individual parts, and would also be invaluable to readers and investigators who feel nervous attempting to interpret historical neuroanatomic and neurologic texts."" --Journal of the History of the Neurosciences: Basic and Clinical Perspectives ""I commend the author for the energy, attention to detail, and scholarship evident on every page of this masterful contribution to the historical contexts and evolving spellings and semantics of neuroscientific terminology. ... The current volume is highly recommended for graduate-level programs in cognitive neuroscience, the history of science, and medical school libraries."" --Paul E. Tibbetts, The Quarterly Review of Biology Indexed in HistoryOfMedicine.com.

[This book is] clearly a labor of love for the author. He looks to both the future and the past to craft this lexicon of neuroanatomical terminology, and the care he takes is quite evident even from a quick glance at the contents. Doody's Notes
