valuable in school and later as a reference

Excellent reference even out of school. The sections are: "symptoms, signs and investigations," "disorders of anatomical regions," "infections," "diffuse and system disorders," and "psychological factors in neurology." The diagrams really helped me with learning function and dysfunction in several areas: cranial nerves, epilepsy, headaches, parkinsonism, MS, multiple other disorders. This book is well divided for easy reading into brief chapters with diagrams, photos of imaging studies and even photos of clinical signs and patient presentation where applicable.
