Review

Praise for the first edition:

“Here is a work that the busy clinical neurologist – practicing or academic – can keep next to her/his two-volume OED, Webster’s Unabridged, and Internet access. Aminoff and Daroff – themselves encyclopedic in their knowledge, breadth, and editorial experience – have put together a truly all-encompassing editorial compendium.”–NEUROLOGY (October 2003)
