Reviews
"This is a very welcome addition to the field of neuroscience literature and should be read by anyone involved in the care of persons
with disorders of consciousness... I would highly recommend the text to any clinician involved in the neurosciences with an interest
in consciousness and/or disorders of consciousness. It is well worth the asking price and is an excellent source of current information
on the topic. Overall rating 9 out of 10." - Nathan Zasler, MD, Chief Editor, NeuroTrauma Letter, Chairperson, IBIA, Medical Director
and CEO, Tree of Life and Concussion Care Centre of Virginia
"Laureys and the Liege school have shifted the paradigm in the clinical
understanding of disturbed consciousness. He and Tononi have edited a ground breaking book. In this field the book to have and read next
to Plum and Posner's Diagnosis of Stupor and Coma is now Laureys and Tononi. Clinicians need to be aware of the recent rapid advances
in consciousness studies, many occasioned by imaging and non-invasive brain monitoring, because they will affect management of their
most vulnerable patients." - Richard Frackowiak, University College London and Ecole Normale Sup rieure, Paris
"An outstandingly
unique book reassembling the most recent data of the rising science of consciousness." - Jean-Pierre Changeux, College de France
?Here,
at last, is a survey of the way that damage to the brain alters consciousness. This volume is a well-equipped hardware shop with most
of the pieces that are needed to build a state-of-the-art model of how the brain performs its most magical function, the creation of
a self that sees, perceives, knows that it does so, and dares to ask how.? - Allan Hobson, Harvard Medical School, Boston, USA
