4 STAR DOODY'S REVIEW!

This book should be an essential element in the library of both young and seasoned clinicians....This has always been a successfully balanced textbook, combining a personal approach to the study of neurology and neurologic diseases. This edition, now

1572 pages, expands on the prior editions admirably. It achieves the difficult task of refreshing and updating a classic.-Doody's Review Service

one of the

iconic texts in clinical medicine. The fact that it is now in

its ninth edition attests to its durability and credibility as

a comprehensive source for the pathophysiology, evaluation, and

treatment of disorders of the nervous system. First published in 1975, it has withstood the enormous changes in neurological

sciences during the subsequent decades and has remained a

staple on the reference shelves of practitioners from a variety of

backgrounds and training levels....A unique attribute for a volume of this size is that each chapter is

written by the same authors, thus achieving a uniformity of voice....As a gold standard text, the ninth edition of Adams and Victor’s

Principles of Neurology would serve as valuable complement to

any medical library.-World Neurosurgery Journal
