This is a comprehensive review of the scientific basis of epilepsy and seizures, clinical diagnosis, general management, and pharmacological and nonpharmacological therapies, as well as psychological and social issues related to the disorder... This can be valuable for medical students, interns, neurology residents, or neurologists looking for a concise and easy to read epilepsy book. The online features should prove useful in teaching, researching and reviewing. * David Chabolla, St. Vincent's Medical Center, for Doody's, July 2013 * This is an authoritative and fairly comprehensive text on epilepsy, epileptic seizures, and other neurological disorders. We commend the editors for their terrific skills in planning, compiling, and organizing the materials; and the numerous contributing chapter authors for sharing their expert knowledge by writing on their specialties. A job well done indeed, by all. * Nano Khilnani for Bizindia, June 2013 *
