Nearly 20 years old, it still has a lot to teach.

As an "old time" neuropsychologist, I first read this book in graduate school shortly after publication. At that point it was an epiphany for me, despite the ponderous language. On recent re-reading, I was struck by the amount of still relevant material. For instance, Luria described work with physostigmine in memory enhancement. The soon to be approved Alzheimer's drug, Exelon, is a derivative of physostigmine. The language is somewhat tedious, but this book still qualifies as a "bible" that should be required reading for everyone in neurology, psychiatry and neuropsychology.
