The focus of this volume is research on cognitive disorders, with 10 chapters and three brief expert commentaries presented. A range of topics are covered: head injuries from soccer;
testosterone depletion and cognitive impairment in aging men; functioning, impairments, attentional characteristics, and deficits in schizophrenic patients; cognitive skills and delinquency in
adolescent boys with a family history of substance abuse; Alzheimer's dementia; Parkinson's disease; and impairment due to inner ear damage. Chapter authors work in the fields of psychology,
psychiatry, and neurosciences in Europe, Australia, New Zealand, and North America. Some grammar and spelling errors show that the volume has not been carefully edited. There is no reference to
the editor's credentials and the preface is made up of abstracts from chapters, so the chapter without an abstract is not summarized. Annotation 穢2007 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
