Yet the subject is in its infancy, with very little published to date. Information on this complex topic has been needed by all disciplines working with disabled children for many years.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis ambitious book links the work of authors from many of the major research teams in this field, who have made significant contributions to the literature on the subject of cerebral visual impairment and provide a structured amalgam of the viewpoints of different specialists.  The book contains some very novel concepts, which will be of great practical value to those who care for children with visual impairment due to brain injury. Summaries of the more specialist chapters as well as clear diagrams and a glossary have been provided to increase the book’s accessibility to a broader readership.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis is an exciting and important field, to which this book makes a major contribution.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cp\u003eAuthors’ Appointments ix\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eForeword xiii\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePreface xv\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIntroduction 1\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1 The Functional Organization of the Central Visual Pathways 5\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eMelvyn A.
