'It was an undiluted pleasure to read and review this magnificent two-volume textbook ... the text is very well laid out, with clear and very helpful summary tables and algorithms...a lot of thought has clearly gone into the arrangement of the sections and chapters ... [it] more than succeeds in its aim of covering the basics of neurotherapeutics. This is a book with a future, born to fill a hole. I have often asked the questions that this book answers. I have no hesitation in recommending it for the neurologist's bookshelf.' - The Lancet Neurology (of the previous edition)
'It's hard to imagine a better and more useful book on neurological therapeutics. This is a true tour de force. The outcome is a book that is simultaneously beautiful, valuable, and comprehensive in its scope. No neurologist will want to do without this wonderfully executed text of neurological therapeutics. Weighted Numerical Score: 100 - 5 Stars!' - Doody's Review (of the previous edition)
'This is a brilliant book, which I think is a real winner ... What makes the book exceptionally useful is that it addresses many of the ... more peripheral issues that one frequently encounters in the wards, but that are not so often addressed in other texts ... With its clarity of thought about what it is trying to achieve, and its innovative approaches to achieve this, it fills a real niche in the market, and would make a truly deserving winner of the 2004 BMA Book Competition.' - First Prize, Neurology Category, 2004 BMA Medical Book Competition (of the previous edition)
'A superb and remarkably broad up-to-date reference encyclopedia of clinical neurology. The breadth and expertise of the contents for our millennium are worthy of comparison to my single-author 19th century classic, Gowers' Handbook (Manual of Diseases of the Nervous System).' - Archives of Neurology, Volume 62, April 2005 (of the previous edition)
With over 600 figures and tables, Neurological Therapeutics: Principles and Practice is a fully updated three-volume text, available both as a hardback and in web-formats, to be used as important reference for treatment decisions in offices of neurological practice, clinics and hospitals.
Providing a reference that is both authoritative and accessible for daily use, key features of this evidence-based, highly acclaimed work include:
more than 2750 major topics covering the vast patient mix primarily treated by adult and pediatric neurologists
the most current definitive medical citations
section editors who are all internationally recognized leaders in their fields
new chapters addressing the important issues of stem cell therapy, pharmacogenomics, palliative care, the management of the organ donor, metabolic myelopathy, superficial siderosis and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder
focus on the issues underlying treatment decisions not only for the most readily treated disorders but also for conditions with few existing, definitive therapeutic options
comprehensive summary tables and informative figures, with the most recent supporting recommendations to guide treatment decisions for effective and efficient patient management in the busy clinic setting.
Building upon the success of its predecessor, this important second edition continues to address the need for a comprehensive textbook focused primarily on therapeutics, and will help busy students, clinicians and clinician-scientists in understanding the current status of neurological therapeutics in planning the care of their patients.
