5.0 out of 5 stars Great book for Descartes' funs!, October 16, 2009
By Andrey Pukhaev (Rome, Italy) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
The book covers very complex topics in Cartesian studies in an accessible, readable manner. Very important contribution to Cartesian physiology for English readers.
