Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis presents the most comprehensive, clinically-focused information on ALS (Lou Gehrig's disease) in print. The three authors, widely known for their work in this area, provide cohesive and balanced coverage of this syndrome, including the history, clinical features, pathology and pathogenesis, treatment and management of ALS. To facilitate understanding, each chapter is enhanced by comprehensive tables and figures, as well as detailed chapter summaries.

Review
" ... recommended for both clinicians and researchers who wish to stay abreast of the advances in this field ... An excellent neuromuscular resource book." Canadian Journal of Neurological Sciences (Nov 1998)
"This book is a "must-have" for the neurologist interested in ALS. For students and other professionals taking care of patients with ALS, this is an excellent resource worth having in the library."--Doody's Journal
"This book covers the topic of ALS in a comprehensive manner from clinical presentation, diagnosis and management to the current state of ALS research. The authors are extremely thorough in their approach. At times the thoroughness tends to highlight the inadequacies of our current knowledge....This book is recommended for both clinicians and researchers who wish to stay abreast of the advances in this field. Scientists in the field who wish to grasp the clinical complexities of this disease will also find it useful, An excellent neuromuscular resource book."--The Canadian Journal of Neurological Sciences
