From the reviews:
"This is a single author monograph describing recent work culminating in the contemporary approach to diagnosis of brain death. ... Neurologists, neurosurgeons, intensivists, and transplanters are an appropriate audience for this work ... . Black-and-white line drawings are done well and a selection of good color plates is grouped together. ... This book smoothly sheds light on the biology and controversy surrounding an important clinical topic. ... is attractive for its historical scope coupled with clinical clarity." (David J. Dries, Doody’s Review Service, July, 2008)
