Tulsky and colleagues have prepared a most interesting and informative volume on the development and clinical interpretation of the WAIS-III and WMS-III... In summary, I found this to be a most informative and enjoyable book. -JOURNAL OF CLINICAL AND EXPERIMENTAL NEUROPSYCHOLOGY Overall, this is a well-edited book that presents in a coherent and consistent manner a new framework for interpretation of the WAIS-III and WMS-III, along with valuable applied normative, base rate, and related psychometric information, that will be of considerable value to a wide range of neuropsychologists... this book fills an important void in the assessment area, especially with regard to the WMS-III. Anyone who uses the WAIS-III and WMS-III on a regular basis should have this text on his or her bookshelf. -APPLIED NEUROPSYCHOLOGY This is an edited collection of papers that focuses on various aspects of the most recent revision of the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale (WAIS-III) and Wechsler Memory Scale (WMS-III). The papers in this volume fall into three broad areas. The first section of the book (and part of one of the subsequent chapters) provides an overview of the history of the development of measures of memory and intelligence, with particular emphasis on the Wechsler scales. These chapters are thoroughly delightful, and the only shortcoming is that they are too brief. -JOURNAL OF THE INTERNATIONAL NEUROPSYCHOLOGICAL SOCIETY
