Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I have many books on TBI (traumatic Brain Injury) including some textbooks, and this is the best. It has everything you need to know about the brain and more importantly what happens when there is damage. It doesn't cover first hand experience, it is more of a encyclopedia of brain injury. Everyone who deals with patients should have one and I highly recommend survivors and thier families have one.
