Reviews

The editors are to be congratulated for assembling a comprehensive and well-written monograph on th intersection of sleep and child neurology...The aesthetic value of the book is similarly pleasing, with a beautiful cover, clear figures, and well placed tables, highlighting Key Points or Clinical Pearls in nearly every chapter. Overall, we applaud this achievement in producing a foundation, as the editors note in their preface, to the field of pediatric neurosomnology. This book was a worthwhile project of which the authors, editors, and publishers can be proud, and it is recommended for clinicians, and especially child neurologists, with an interest in the sleep aspects of pediatric neurology.-Phillip L. Pearl, MD and Judith Owens, MD, Pediatric Neurology, Volume 45, Issue 4, October 2011
