Understanding Sleep and Dreaming

by William H. Moorcroft and Paula Belcher

Book Overview

Designed primarily as a text this volume is an up-to-date and integrated overview of physiological sleep mechanisms, brain function, psychological ramifications of sleep, dimensions of dreaming, and clinical disorders associated with sleep. It is accessibly written with specially boxed material that enhances the text. Authored by a researcher/clinician/professor with more than 25 years of experience in sleep studies, Understanding Sleep and Dreaming provides a solid basis for those who are not expert in this area. It offers a good foundation for those who will continue sleep studies, while at the same time offering enough information for those who will apply this knowledge in other ways such as clinicians in their individual practices or researchers for whom sleep may be part of a specific study. It is an excellent text for courses on sleep at the undergraduate and graduate levels.

How do i download this ebook onto my desktop??

Does anyone know if i can download this kindle ebook on my desktop??? I downloaded it to my itouch but would like to read it on a bigger screen. If anyone knows please let me know.

Great!

If you are a student or a beginner in sleep sciense this book will be the BEST to start from. Unlike many others there is lots of basic information in all aspects of somnology and the book is written using normal, easy and pleasant to read language. You are given a real knowledge. After this book one is ready to answer many questions about sleep and has enough in his brain to bravely continue study of somnology by reading the books unmanageable for the beginners. I loved it.
