Review
A new encyclopedic collection of clinical wisdom…the largest and most comprehensive of several reference books that focus on this illness….masterfully organized.
Parkinson's Disease Update, Issue 145, 2005
I would recommend it highly to those with a specialist's interest in Parkinson's disease and to more general neurologists who want an accessible, readable guide to diagnosing and treating this disease.
New England Journal of Medicine, September 2005
…tightly constructed and well organized. It stands out as the most comprehensive volume available on this disorder.
JAMA, Volume 293, 2005
… brought together experts from across the vast field of PD research to create an invaluable reference, outlining our current understanding of this disease. With 78 chapters across 8 primary themes, this massive text contains all the information that any student new to the field requires to develop a thorough understanding of PD. With chapters about everything form epidemiology, to theories of pathogenesis, and back to symptoms and treatment, this book covers the entire range of what we can know about a biological phenomenon, from the molecular, cellular and genetic levels, through to the whole human being and the entire human population. … Overall, this book is truly a success. Extremely broad in its coverage of the topic, and generally very well written, and in a way that is accessible to both seasoned veterans of Parkinson’s research, looking for the last information in an area outside their direct expertise, and novices, trying to grasp an understanding of the extent of our current knowledge of PD.
