Rezensionen
From the reviews: "An attempt at understanding questions of body and mind based on questions shaped by the philosophical premises of the time. ... this volume provides a comprehensive set of works outlining major issues of the long 18th century and appears set to become an excellent reference book. ... will have special appeal to anyone interested in the history of neuroscience, neurology, psychology, and medicine, as well as serving as a valuable resource for the contemporary neuroscientist and psychologist interested in the basis of current thinking." (Simon Boag, PsycCRITIQUES, Vol. 53 (26), 2008) "Brain, Mind, and Medicine is well written, nicely illustrated and has its uses. It will appeal to physicians and historians of the neurosciences, and may have some use within undergraduate teaching." (Stephen Casper, History of Psychiatry, Vol. 20 (1), 2009)
