Format:Paperback
A comprehensive textbook of neurology, which does well to be written rather than edited by two authors. All major neurological diseases are covered comprehensively for any neurology or internal medicine trainees. The style of prose is superb, precise and to the point. All in all, one of the best written, most useful medical textbooks I have ever read. Partners perfectly with Patten, which is essential for any neurology trainee, and demystifies neurology - particularly for the mrcp clinical exam

Format:Hardcover
This 1600pp-book is a clinically-oriented approach to the major syndromes and diseases of the nervous system. Neurologic examination is not covered. Its overall quality is one the highest. The authors of the 6th edition have placed considerable attention to diseases that traditionally interested child neurologists (developmental neurology, inherited metabolic diseases). The chapters on neurodegeneration and demyelinating diseases are very well written. Cerebrovascular disease is covered in 100 pp. The chapter on peripheral neuropathies does not contain a clinical algorithm for reaching diagnosis in the patient with a neuropathic syndrome - something that almost all neurology textbooks lack. Not particular emphasis has been placed to clinical details of therapy. The practicing neurologist will have to consult another source for that. Chapters are very well balanced, and many cross-references are provided. The authors have also done a good job with the bibliography, providing references to key papers with more detail on each subject dealt.

I feel like recommending this book to any psychiatrist/neurologist or whatever other physician who wants have a better understanding of neurology. This book is complete and really opens up a new world to you. Of course, given the sheer amount of info reported, it can be quite heavy but, in the end of day, medicine is not easy and I personally prefer more details rather than too little or incomplete info.
