Review
Each of the 35 contributions has been written by experts with extensive knowledge of this specialty. This level of expertise is probably the key reason for this book's success as a textbook of the highest quality. (The Lancet )

The main text of the book on the whole admirably fulfils its purpose of guiding the neurologist in training to a variety of clinical features, disease conditions and therapeutic principles, usual and unusual. The new 'Brain' is still a monument - a fortress - of British neurology, beautifully restored. (Brain, Vol 125 )
