You know it as the masterwork in its field...and now, you can own the newest, most up-to-date version of this classic text: Adams and Victor's PRINCIPLES OF NEUROLOGY, 7th Edition. This remarkable volume now incorporates the latest findings in the growing areas of neurology even as it retains its authority, comprehensive scope, and popular, easy-use format. Approaches neurologic disease just as you would approach the patient! Adams and Victor's PRINCIPLES OF NEUROLOGY, 7th Edition, begins with a detailed exposition of the symptoms and signs of disordered nervous function, just as you would begin with symptoms as presented by a patient. The text logically proceeds to syndromes and then to a description of all the main categories and types of disease that express themselves by each syndrome.
The definitive textbook on neurology, the one neurologists and neurosurgeons keep handy on their office bookshelf. Much more than the average person needs, but if you or someone in your family is diagnosed with a neurological syndrome, this is the place to look it up (I have used it in such situations many times).
I was wanting a kindle edition of a good neurology textbook for routine clinical use and reference. I have an old secondhand copy of a previous edition of this book so the 12th edition was an easy choice.
The kindle edition contains the 5000 or so pages but in a handy portable format. In terms of content it gives a fairly up to date overview of neurology. In my own sub specialist area I could point out a few omissions but for the general neurologist this is great.
