by W. Poppelreuter, L. Weiskrantz (Primary Contributor), J. Zihl (Translator)

This reprint of a classic, frequently cited volume on brain injury includes information that has remained valuable since the initial publication of the book in 1917. Based on the author's original research during World War I, the work covers disturbances of vision caused by wounds and head injuries, provides data on over 700 cases, and offers a wealth of practical advice on the management of patients. Neuropsychologists, neurologists, brain surgeons, and all others concerned with injuries to the occipital lobe will benefit from this new translation.
