Reviews

'This book should be on the shelves of any medical school library, history of medicine department, or scholarly collection with special interest in the understanding of human physiology, medicine, and disease. The book is clearly conceived and articulated, supported by solid textual evidence and relevant technical analysis, in addition to providing enough contextual data, including biographies of authors, often with portraits that create a more personalized touch. The bibliography and index are integral instruments for further research. This book is a sum of information, with both original data and critical interpretative analysis that will be a reference for years to come.' Alain Touwaide, Doody's Reviews 'This highly recommended book is aimed not only at stroke specialists but also at neurologists and readers interested in how the idea of a complex and multifaceted disease like stroke has evolved over time.' Francesco Brigo, The Lancet Neurology
