From the reviews:
“These three volumes contain a collection of succinct chapters on a wide variety of epilepsy topics that includes basic science, evaluation, and treatment. … Physicians and other health professionals who care for patients with epilepsy are the intended audience … . The concise nature of each topic, enhanced with numerous illustrations and tables, results in a useful book … . it easily could find a place in a neurology practice or medical library.” (Kevin Chapman, Doody’s Review Service, January, 2011)
“This extensive and comprehensive atlas attempts to chart a course through the complex world of epilepsy, and it largely succeeds. … a text must be comprehensive, authoritative and current but must also provide information in an easily accessible manner and form a logical narrative that leads the reader from one section to the next. Overall this atlas succeeds on all counts, and is therefore likely to become one of the leading texts on epilepsy for the foreseeable future.” (Robert Robinson, European Journal of Pediatric Neurology, 2011)
“The Atlas of Epilepsies is a compendious description of the epilepsies. … contains very comprehensive descriptions of the basic science of seizures and some newer areas of research, making it an up-to-date resource. … The atlas is an excellent choice. It also deserves a place on the shelves of those who regularly treat epilepsy such as neurologists and epileptologists. … recommended as a valuable epilepsy reference and should be considered a useful addition to medical and neurological libraries, as well as neurologists’ personal libraries.” (George Morris, Epilepsy & Behavior, February, 2011)
“‘A comprehensive reference work on the subject of epilepsy which would be of use to the specialist. Richly illustrated. Well-referenced. Encyclopaedic!’” (BMA Medical Book Awards, September, 2011)
“Atlas of the Epilepsies is an encyclopedic, comprehensive textbook describing clinical features, symptomatology, EEG tracings, gene mapping where appropriate, differential diagnoses, and treatments for literally, hundreds of epilepsy disorders and syndromes. … an ideal reference textbook for neurologists, epileptologists, neurosurgeons, pharmacologists, and medical students. … This book is likely to become a benchmark in the field of epileptology. It seems to serve a generous purpose for the study of clinical manifestations of epilepsies. I can recommend this book without hesitation to the international Neurology community.” (Joseph J. Grenier, Neurological Sciences, Vol. 32 (4), August, 2011)
