Two editors, 35 section editors and over 500 contributors all took part. All-in-all, this encyclopedia is an outstandingly useful resource for clinicians and scientists. this book could be equally recommended to major medical and neuroscience libraries, most probably in the e-book format. This is a resource for the expert: for the neurologist, the dentist, the medical student or the physiotherapist." (Martin Guha, Reference Reviews, Vol. 22 (2), 2008) Review Citations:
