About this title

Review

'It was an undiluted pleasure to read and review this magnificent textbook ... the text is very well laid out, with clear and very helpful summary tables and algorithms ... a lot of thought has clearly gone into the arrangement of the sections and chapters ... [it] more than succeeds in its aim of covering the basics of neurotherapeutics. This is a book with a future, born to fill a hole. I have often asked the questions that this book answers. I have no hesitation in recommending it for the neurologist's bookshelf.' "-" "The Lancet Neurology (of the previous edition)" 'This is a brilliant book, which I think is a real winner ... What makes the book exceptionally useful is that it addresses many of the ... more peripheral issues that one frequently encounters in the wards, but that are not so often addressed in other texts ... With its clarity of thought about what it is trying to achieve, and its innovative approaches to achieve this, it fills a real niche in the market, and would make a truly deserving winner of the 2004 BMA Book Competition.' - "First Prize, Neurology Category, 2004 BMA Medical Book Competition (previous edition)" --a
