Rezensionen
"Synthesizing a large body of animal and human studies, this book provides a much-needed overview of the neural and behavioral mechanisms underlying spatial navigation. It also describes the clinical literature in this field and shows the links between memory and navigation. The very first textbook on human spatial navigation, it will be invaluable to undergraduate students and researchers."--Thomas Wolbers, German Center for Neurodegenerative Diseases
