Caplan's Stroke: A Clinical Approach, 4th Edition

Since nearly all workers in the stroke field know, or know of, Dr. Caplan, he can be forgiven for the somewhat immodest title of his book. But can one person alone write a comprehensive book on stroke in the 21st century? Osler's Principles and Practice of Medicine (New York, D. Appleton), published in 1892, with all its antiquated ideas (such as the role of overwork in the formation of aortic aneurysm), remained in print for decades.

Molecular Neurology

Why a book on molecular neurology? Molecular neuroscience is advancing at a spectacular rate. As it does so, it is revealing important clues to the pathogenesis and pathophysiology of neurological diseases, and to the therapeutic targets that they present. Medicines work by targeting molecules. The more specific the targeting, the more specific the actions, and the fewer the side effects. This book highlights, for graduate and MD-PhD students, research fellows and research-oriented clinical fellows, and researchers in the neurosciences and other biomedical sciences, the principles underlying molecular medicine as related to neurology. Written by internationally recognized experts, this well-illustrated and well-referenced book presents the most up-to-date principles and disease examples relevant to molecular neurology, and reviews the concepts, strategies, and latest progress in this field. This book will interest anyone studying the molecular basis of neurology, or developing new therapies in neurology.

Practical Neurology, 3rd edition

In the 10 years or so since the First Edition of this book was conceived and prepared, there have been extraordinary and exciting advances in neurological knowledge and a steady growth of subspecialties in neurology. Unfortunately, these strides have been received with some degree of complacency among busy practitioners due to their misapprehension of the nature and complexity of the neurological specialty. Thus, with joyful enthusiasm, we have completed this new edition of Practical Neurology according to the original plans of a single-volume, nonencyclopedic book that synthesizes current information and applies it to the diagnosis and management of the most commonly encountered disorders of the nervous system. Like previous editions, the Third Edition of Practical Neurology is a concise, pragmatic, and patient-centered resource advising clinicians (and apprentices in clinical neurology) who alternate between adult and pediatric clinical settings on how to decipher, deduce, and predict.

A Dictionary of Neurological Signs Second Edition

The Dictionary of Neurological Signs can be almost as well described in terms of what the book is not, along with details about what it is. The Dictionary is not a handbook for treatment of neuropathies. While many entries provide the latest treatment options, up-to-the-minute therapies are not discussed in bedside level detail.
