From the reviews:"Neurovascular Neuropsychology presents an extremely lucid, state-of-the art, detailed overview of an emerging interdisciplinary specialty area that is rapidly increasing our clinical and theoretical understanding of the role of cerebral circulation in health and disease states. This volume presents a wealth of information that is centrally important to neurologists, psychiatrists, radiologists, physiatrists, and transplant surgeons as well as to clinical and experimental neuropsychologists ... . It should be read by a very wide variety of professionals who have an interest in brain-behavior relationships." (James A. Moses Jr., PsycCRITIQUES, Vol. 55 (12), March, 2010)"Festa and Lazar's work is a timely effort to continue that effort to broaden and deepen our perspective on vascular disease as related to neuropsychological functioning....written by aremarkably international list of contributors with expertise at many levels in the field of vascular disease... the chapters are clearly and concisely written and provide an excellent,broad-based introduction for each topic.... One of the strengths of this text and the presented reviews is that research to date is critically presented, with discussion of the problems in methodology, an awareness of the limited conclusions that are afforded in comparing the results of various studies, and clear directions and recommendations for future research.
