"The distinguished group of authors of this volume, almost all Swarthmore graduates, would make any university proud of its undergraduate program....I found Rosenbaum's chapter on motor control (which is a topic I know little about and would normally try to avoid) to be well written and intriguing. I found myself wanting to know more."
