"The material covered in this Manual is comprehensive and
particularly rich...[and] the digital format allows readers to
study a specific section in its entirety or to jump from one area
to another for contrast and comparison. The authors state in their
own introduction that they attempt to "demystify" the neurological
examination, but in my view, their success is quite different, as
their work in fact magnifies the wonderful mystery of neurology
and
allows readers to enter into this mystifying world with
comfort...In its unique format and breadth, it is a modern
educational tool that provides information not otherwise available
on the ever-evolving nuances
of phenomenology and the authors' personal and special techniques
to use clinical signs to advance diagnostic accuracy. The authors
provide archetypal examples, but also show much more complicated
cases with difficult diagnoses."
-- Christopher G. Goetz, MD, Department of Neurology, Rush
University Medical Center, Chicago, IL
"This monumental work on neurological signs...[is a] truly
extraordinary addition to the neurological literature...The star
turn is of course the 950 video clips, with descriptions of signs,
tips, cases and footnotes...As a rule I am sparing in my use of
superlatives, but this comprehensive work is quite remarkable -
well-constructed and cross-referenced, and easy to navigate. It
really is essential reading, watching and owning for every
neurologist, whether
trainee or senior Professor. How I wish that such a guidebook had
been available when I started my neurological career in the 1970s,
but how delighted I am that I can use it to feast on the rich
semiology and history of our chosen speciality. Amazing!
Bravo!"

"The Manual of Neurological Signs is a real tour de force developed
by the team of experienced clinicians and educators John Morris and
Paddy Grattan Smith. The clinical histories have been accumulated
during their distinguished careers encompassing the full range of
neurological presentations. Their novel use of patient video format
is easy to navigate, with a clear and logical layout. The Manual is
a refreshing aid to complement standard
textbook presentations of neurological disease, and will be highly
valued by clinicians deciphering neurological disease at the coal
face."

"Drs. John Morris and Paddy Gratton-Smith have produced a unique
offering in their Manual of Neurological Signs. In recent years it
has become commonplace for videotapes to be included on CDs
published with textbooks and some publishers offer access to this
type of material on their websites. However, none have provided
such an extensive display of extremely well documented case
material in such an easily accessible, intuitive format... In
the
Manual of Neurologic Signs, Drs. Morris and Gratton-Smith have
provided us with the next important advance in the long history of
graphic depiction of neurology."
