Reviews

This book...helps to define the field, as well as demonstrating the importance and relevance of this area to neuroscience. ... overall this book is excellent and should be regarded as essential reading for neuroscientists who should educate themselves in this important and newly emerging field. Psychological Medicine,Vol 37, Illes's book is a very firm foundation for the specialty of neuroethics, and I recommend it very highly. The Lancet Neurology, Vol 5
