This text contains pertinant information contained in the field of neurology. Since not being a specialist the majority of the reading takes me to a better place of understanding from the chapter on demyelinating diseases to craniospinal trauma. Besides the indepthness of each chapter there are resources listed for further inquiry that will help those of us who have more of a thirst quenching. Chapter two gives a fairly concise order for neurologic H & Ps but a lot of what is discussed can be found in other H & P books. I sense the majority of clinicians who need a good review of neurologic signs, symtoms and treatment will benefit from this book.
