في البداية لم اجد عنوان الكتاب في اللغة العربية مما حداني الى استخدام العنوان الاصل
وقام مشروع كلمة بترجمته
وكما هي العادة سأقوم بتفييم الكتاب شكلاً ومضموناً بإيجاز ما استطعت

الشكل
١- طباعة الكتاب فاخرة جداً والورق جميل
ولكن يعيبة ان الصور التي نقلت من الاصل غير واضحة
٢- الترجمة رائعة وواضحة

المضمون
١- الكتاب تخصصي مميز فمستوى اللغة جميل وسهل حتى لغير المتخصصين من جهة ويظهر فيه الجهد الجبار لمؤلفي الكتاب من جهة اخرى
٢- عدد المؤلفين ٤
٣- عدد االمراجع ضخم جداً
٤- يجمع الكتاب بين النظرية والتطبيق وبين المرض والعلاج وبين المشاكل والحلول بطريقة اكاديمية مننهجة رائعة جداً

في الختام انصح بقراءة الكتاب لمن هم يميلون لهذا النوع او الصنف من الكتب

Have these folks ever worked with a learning-disabled student? If so, it certainly doesn't show in their writing. This book was a drudgery; truly a painful read.

A background in neuropsychology is helpful. Good read. Includes information on Reading Fluency.
