Dr. Haines is an exceedingly well-respected academic (a former Henry Gray/Elsevier award winner from the American Association of Anatomists and a Distinguished Teacher Award winner from the Association of American Medical Colleges). Though Dr. Haines has retired as Chair of the Department of Anatomy as well as Professor of Neurosurgery at the University of Mississippi, he retains a working relationship with Wake Forest University in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. He travels extensively and continues to speak frequently at meetings both in the US and Internationally.
"This is one of the best neuroscience books available, probably one of the three best currently. It provides broad coverage with detailed information on this massive topic." - Eduardo A De Sousa, MD, FAAN (Mercy NeuroScience Institute) Doody's Score: 97 - 5 Stars!
