Review Quotes:

"The editors should be commended for the selection of high level work, and for their effort to integrate it with an excellent introduction, comments on each section and summary. This is an enjoyable and current text in an important area, which can be read by the novice and expert alike. It provides useful references in addition to serving as an important educational resource."
--The Canadian Journal of Neurological Sciences

"The chapters are uniformly excellent and the commentaries following each section summarize and provide additional food for thought. This is a text that would be appropriate for advanced graduate and post-graduate students as well as cognitive and affective neuroscientists willing to accept the challenges of an expanded view of right hemisphere language function."
--Journal of the International Neuropsychological Society
