""The material is presented clearly and concisely; well-designed
tables help to summarize the main points of each chapter. The index
is well laid out and easy to use. Important scales used in the
evaluation of patients or in clinical research are presented in an
easily understandable manner, and the advantages and disadvantages
of each scale are thoughtfully considered. In addition, the
reference lists are sufficiently detailed, and the cited works are
simple enough to find, that readers can easily identify and seek
out the most important publications in the vast literature on
multiple sclerosis....""
