This book is one of the first in an exciting new series of tutorials in cognitive neuroscience, and provides a concise, readable and up-to-date review of cognitive and neuroscience studies of the representations for actions. The fundamental question addressed concerns the nature and role of different representations in the planning and execution of movements.

"The Cognitive Neuroscience of Action provides an
interesting historical context to many of the important ideas that
guide current thinking about the neural basis of action." Peter
Redgrave, University of Sheffield"It is both innovative and
integrative and certainly is a must read for those working in the
area...I would certainly recommend this book in advanced
undergraduate work, perhaps as an adjunct to a third year
undergraduate course or for a reading group in visual perception,
perception and action, or neuropsychology." Alan M. Wing,
Psychology Teaching Review
"Jeannerod's book is an impressive example of a cognitive
neuroscientific approach to action." Johannes Engelkamp,
University of the Saarland, American Journal of Psychology, Spring
2001.
