In this book, Mark Solms chronicles a fascinating effort to systematically apply the clinico-anatomical method to the study of dreams. The purpose of the effort was to place disorders of dreaming on an equivalent footing with those of other higher mental functions such as the aphasias, apraxias, and agnosias. Modern knowledge of the neurological organization of human mental functions was grounded upon systematic clinico-anatomical investigations of these functions under neuropathological conditions. It therefore seemed reasonable to assume that equivalent research into dreaming would provide analogous insights into the cerebral organization of this important but neglected function. Accordingly, the main thrust of the study was to identify changes in dreaming that are systematically associated with focal cerebral pathology and to describe the clinical and anatomical characteristics of those changes. The goal, in short, was to establish a nosology of dream disorders with neuropathologica
Editorial : Solms presents original insights based on new researchwith remarkable thoroughness and candorit makes an important contribution to the understanding of an aspect of human perception and cognition excellent resource offering a new understanding of the production of dreamingthat will be cited for years to come for the data it presents, for its theoretical speculations, and as a basis for further research.—American Scientist I recommend it for everyone- especially young people, so they understand early on- that you think about, manifests!. She says "My initial impulse toward the study of Mental Science was an overwhelming sense of loneliness." Isnt this true for us all? This book is a gold mine. I got this book yesterday and had to force myself to put it down to go to bed because it was 2 am. i must say, as much as i like to philosophize, a lot of this was way over my head. From the original Apple 1 to present day world changing hardware. All-in-all, this is one of the most well-written technical books I have come across.
a fascinating and well-researched monograph by a clinician and scientist who has accumulated a remarkable body of data from 361 patients over a four-year period.a most impressive work, chock full of most instructive and engaging case studies, clinical neuropsychology and sophisticated theorizing.—Trends in Cognitive Sciences
the book provides an excellent starting point for further research in this under-investigated and fascinating area of neuropsychology.—Brain
Of course, if you need to work with 802.11n on an implementation level, you'll eventually have to dive into the standards documents themselves, but if you take the time to read this book first, you'll save yourself hours of piecing together details from disparate sections (and documents) to answer what you thought was a simple question.. I really think this book would have had
