| Abstract: | Reviews the book, Studies in neuropsychology: Selected lepers of Arthur Benton by E. Costa and O. Spreen. This current volume stands as a monument to the contribution that Benton has made to the field of neuropsychology since his resignation from the Civilian Conservation Corp in 1936. This volume contains 29 articles by Benton and his many colleagues, one of which is a hitherto unpublished work on aphasia. These articles span the years 1956-84 and remind those of us who are familiar only with a few of Benton's most seminal papers of the breadth of his interests, which range from classical medical history to the experimental technology of the present. What better compliment for a book than to say that it has whetted one's appetite for more by the same author. In all, I believe that the editors are to be congratulated for providing an important source book for students in the field of neuropsychology.
