A Classic,
By A Customer
This review is from: Localization in Clinical Neurology (Hardcover)
This text is one of the very few books in print that address localization in clinical neurological diagnosis, and is easily the finest ever written. Chapters take you through neurological diagnosis at every level, from individual groups of peripheral nerves to the cerebral cortex. The treatment of the material is uniformly comprehensive and extensively referenced to both classical and very recent papers. Diagrams are adequate and of good quality, conveying well what they were meant to convey. The authors have included beautiful tables (a very important feature in a neurology text) that summarize very well what is said in the text.All the authors are well known neurologists. Dr. Brazis is from the famous Mayo Clinic, Dr. Masdeu from New York University and Dr. Jose Biller, an accomplished author of neurological texts, from Indiana University. This new edition includes a nicely written introductory chapter to localization and claims to have some new diagrams. There are additionally some updates in the chapter on cerebrocortical localization. I do not think, however, that the changes from the last edition are extensive. A (possible) downside in the new edition is that the text is now in column format - some readers may not like this because there is very little space in the margins to write your own notes. However the columns give the pages a neater appearance, and makes reading easier. In summary, neurologists and neurosurgeons will benefit greatly from this book. Those who have the third edition however need not purchase this one, as that edition will undoubtedly suffice to meet their needs. A poorer alternative would be volume 2 of the 40 something-volume Handbook of Clinical Neurology (surely some mistake). The only true 'minus' for this book is the outrageously steep pricing, which may effectively prevent many residents from obtaining their own copy of this very beautiful and very important work.

A Modern Day Classic For Neurology,
This review is from: Localization in Clinical Neurology (Hardcover)
It is clear much care has been taken in the writing of this text.I am involved in medical student teaching and this book has been very useful. Neuroanatomy and related topics has always been a bit difficult for many students and this text puts things in a concise,thourough fashion.I have also used it personally on numerous occasions to help review some relatively uncommon clinical scenarios.

Fantastic Book,
This review is from: Localization in Clinical Neurology (Hardcover)
Very well written. The ultimate guide to localization. I refer to it at least once a week. Dr. Biller was the chair at Indiana University where I trained in neurology. He is a gifted teacher and terrific clinician. Localization is a great review of clinical neuroanatomy.
