"This book is designed for both researchers and clinicians who are interested in gaining a more thorough understanding of the neurobiology of nicotine ... . The book is written by leaders in this field and will prove valuable for those who are developing their own research programs and those who want to obtain a greater understanding of the problematic and therapeutic workings of this molecule in the human brain." (Michael Easton, Doody's Book Reviews, July, 2015)
