AB The preface to the first edition of this book states that it is addressed to students in such varied disciplines as nursing, biology, psychology, physical therapy, and occupational therapy. With this end in view, the book is written along simple and basic lines. As a simple and preliminary survey of neuroanatomy and neurophysiology, the author succeeds admirably. The illustrations are excellent and the style is lucid. Each chapter has at its end an excellent critical listing of pertinent references. As well, in each chapter, there are brief and informative notes on some famous investigators and clinicians who have influenced neurology.The book may be recommended as introductory reading to the freshman medical student, though its lack of detail would be a drawback in a medical curriculum.
