Customer Reviews

An ideal and a superb text

This book is a classic reference text in neurology surpassing any other book in the field . Every resident in neurology should possess one and neurologists are no exemption . The minute details in genetics are kept to the bare minimum and at the same time the clinical aspects are stressed . The neuroanatomy and physiology at the beginning are simply fantastic. Kudos to Professor A. Ropper . Professor K.N.Viswanathan, AVMC, Pondicherry, India.

A classic text.

The book is a "must have" item for those interested in neurology. It is written beautifully, and in my opinion it is one of the best texts of neurology ever written. The only suggestion I have for the next edition is NOT to use a font which is significantly smaller and harder to read.

AN ENDURING CLASSIC

This text, one of the finest works ever written on nervous pathology and the varied clinical manifestations they evoke, continues to occupy its eminent position in the field. A work by legends, it has become one on its own - no other textbook in existence elucidates neurological disease with such clarity and honesty.Magnificent.

Essential for neurology board exam

I have been studying for board exam for past couple years and have chance to review this book recently. From first chapter to the last page, you'll find basic principles of general neurology as well as pediatric neurology in well-designed systematic pattern. Clinical approach to signs and symptomatology makes this textbook essential for clinicians. New treatment and diagnostic approach at each chapter also make it a "must" for neurology residents, studying for the board exam. Principles of Neurology is the way how to understand fundemantal of neurology.
