Recenzje

"The great thing about this book is Professor Zihl’s ability to integrate a strong cognitive neuroscience approach to understanding normal and pathological visual perception with a pragmatic, sensitive and sensible approach to helping people with visual disorders after brain injury. I thought the first edition of this book was excellent. The second is even better." - Jonathan Evans, Professor of Applied Neuropsychology, University of Glasgow, UK
