Andrew Haddon Kemp

Dear Susan, I just wanted to thank you for these papers. I have now read all three and particularly enjoyed Teitelbaum as well as the one on Hebb by Milner. If you have any others that come to mind as a good intro to the history of our discipline, please do not hesitate to send them through. I am slowly making my way through the latest book by Wickens - http://www.amazon.com/History-Brain-surgery-modern-neuroscience/dp/1848723652 - but this is a little heavy for only one unit spanning no more than 2-weeks! Thanks again!
