    Reviews

    "Revisiting Einstein's Brain, Six Decades Later" by Kevin Coyne feature with Fred Lepore— New Jersey Monthly
    "With this original book, [Lepore] gives Einstein's brain a second life and offers the reader a rare opportunity to discover the distinctive features of a genius's brain, while insisting on the explanatory gap that still exists between brain and mind."— Science Magazine
    "Finding Einstein's Brain isn't just about neuroanatomy....It also contains wonderful discussions about relativity, other aspects of physics, and the personalities of the physicists Einstein hung out with. Lepore's writing combines erudition, unexpected asides to the reader and occasional interjections of humour." — Brain Journal
    "However often you may lose your way on this expedition across planet Einstein, it's good to have [Lepore], a man 'of most excellent fancy' as your guide."— Town Topics
    "An extraordinary, informed and informative study that reads with the gripping attention of a riveting novel, Finding Einstein's Brain is an impressive work of seminal scholarship that is enhanced for academia with the inclusion of thirty-eight pages of Notes and a seventeen page Index. While strongly and unreservedly recommended for both community and academic library collections, it should be noted for the personal reading lists of academia and non-specialist general readers with an interest in the subject."— Midwest Book Review
