Recenzje

"In total, this book proves to be an excellent and practical idea-generator, in which quick progression through both persevering and burgeoning concepts yields an eagerness to explore the data further. Admittedly, while this text is on the terse side, there is still plenty of content to attract experienced researchers." --Applied Neuropsychology-Adult
