Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis

"The range of subjects covered is astonishing...their reviews are comprehensive and sophisticated. Their writing is clear and the several controversies are given balanced reviews. The ample illustrations have been selected thoughtfully...Anyone interested in ALS will find material for thought and for practice." From the Foreword by Professor L. P. Rowland

"This book is an excellent synthesis of the epidemiology, histopathophysiology, and clinical and therapeutic aspects of ALS...the illustrations...are ample and excellent in image quality... This excellent review of ALS is well-written in a language easily understood even by medical students and residents. Thus it appeals to health professionals involved in the care of patients with the disease and makes it different from other books written on this subject." Doody's Health Sciences Book Review Journal

"This is an excellent book, well written, informative, up-to-date and important. It brings together the state-of-the-art on ALS and I am glad to have it on my shelf." The Canadian Journal of Neurological Sciences

"One reason for the success of this book is that it is not an edited collection with many contributors, replete with problems common to such anthologies. Rather, it was organized and written by two neurologists who have had years of clinical and research experience in the field...issues relevant to neurologists interested in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis are discussed in a comprehensive and practical way...Readers will be impressed as well as educated by the data gathered from the authors' experience..."
