'Cognitive Reserve is a highly applicable and timely volume... There are over 60 books specific to plasticity, but Cognitive Reserve: Theory and Applications is the first book devoted to that topic...an authoritative review of the current status of research and theory related to these growing areas of concern and interest...  Cognitive Reserve is a needed review of a new literature that will help inform this growing body of research.' - Christopher Koch, PsycCRITIQUES
