DESCRIPTION:
Not the definitive word but opens new doors to the scientific process As a learning tool, this book may assist document examiners in being able to better articulate the fundamental principles and theories of our field in various ways.The aim of The Neuroscience of Handwriting, as Caligiuri and Mohammed state in their conclusion on page 205, was "not to present the definitive. printing my rating was 3 because the printing is not too much good and the book was not colured comparble with the price.
