Reviews for The Past in the Past: the Re-use of Ancient Monuments: World Archaeology 30:1

'This readable book is both a comprehensive overview, to be read cover-to-cover, and a reference volume, to be consulted as appropriate ... Feinstein deserves particular commendation for his strong pragmatic and clinical bias ... all in all, I recommend this book to complement any MS library.' The International MS Journal 'This is a clear, basic textbook outlining the main neuropsychiatric syndromes prevalent in patients with multiple sclerosis. It will be useful for anyone involved in the management of patients with multiple sclerosis.' I. S. Markova, Journal of Neurol Neurosurg Psychiatry 'Feinstein should be congratulated for his effort in reviewing and bringing together what is known of the psychiatry of MS into this monograph, which will be useful to those interested in the psychiatric manifestations of structural brain disease and to clinicians who either have patients with MS under their care, or who encounter them in the course of their clinical practice.' Jordi Serra-Mestres, The Clinical Neuropsychiatry of Multiple Sclerosis
