Rosenbaum is a great storyteller, writer and cognitive scientist, par excellence. The book will serve as a great resource for the student and professor.' Howard N.

«'I recommend Knowing Hands for those interested in the psychology of manual control or in more broad areas of cognition. It is a well-organized, easily comprehended, and fun read.' Christopher A. Was, PsychCRITICS»
«'Rosenbaum's Knowing Hands provides a first-of-its-kind overview of the cognitive psychology of the planning and control of daily manual actions with hands … for those students and faculty who are interested in cognitive psychology, perception, artificial intelligence, and clinical Neuroscience.' CHOICE»
«'Rosenbaum's argument that hand actions reflect tremendous knowledge is both compelling and important. Moreover, there may be no person better suited in either expertise or style to write such a book. It is clear, accessible, and often quite amusing. It reads as if it were being narrated with great enthusiasm.' Jeffrey B. Wagman, Illinois State University»
