Editorial Reviews

Review

"A comprehensive multiauthored textbook of neurological disorders, with an emphasis on evaluation and management.

"This 43-chapter single-volume paperback represents the entire contents of Harrison’s Principles of Internal Medicine, 16th Edition that is pertinent to neurology, including chapters from the Cardinal Manifestations and Presentations of Disease (approach to different symptoms and syndromes) and the Neurologic Disorders (specific diseases) sections. Compared with its parent text, the typeface is larger, the paper is glossier, many of the color illustrations have been further enhanced, and a few chapters have minor additions. This book provides a broad overview with sufficient detail of the diagnostic principles and management of neurological disorders.

"By visually separating the evaluation and treatment portions of each chapter in colored boxes and by incorporating outstanding illustrations, tables, and flow charts, this text is both an enjoyable leisurely read and a good quick reference.

"Recommended Readership: Students, residents, primary care physicians, and other nonneurologists.

"Overall Grading:****"--Mayo Clinic Proceedings (Mayo Clinic Proceedings )

This review is from: Harrison's Neurology in Clinical Medicine (Paperback)

This is a great book with many good images. Even though I have the Harrison's 17e (the big one) this is still very useful as it is much more wieldy.

This review is from: Harrison's Neurology in Clinical Medicine (Paperback)

This is a great book and well worth the read.

I'm not sure it deserves the low rating that one reviewer gave it, as it is not designed to be a book on "chronic fatigue", but rather on the topic of clinical neurology, which it does very well.
