Frustrated with the structures of other neuropsychology textbooks, the authors (both of the U. of Saskatchewan, Canada) have taken a functional approach while penning this one, grouping most chapters by such functions as visual perception, language, and memory. Within each of these chapters, they discuss both intact and lesioned/dysfunctional systems. They also seek to maintain a balance between clinical and experimental perspectives. Among the pedagogical features included in the text are "celebrity" case studies, feature boxes on current controversies, and short self-tests.
