Reviews

"""The order in which the topics are arranged is very practical. The high quality photographic figures with captions are informative and visually appealing. I like artwork on the hardbound cover. This book appears to be well-written and well-organized. It is a useful addition to my library, both for its content and as a thorough database of references on the topic of Hughes syndrome. Given the ongoing research and development of new knowledge in this field, the second edition is a welcome update."" (Cory B Pittman, Doody Enterprises, Inc. - COPYRIGHT 2006)"
