A re-read of an interesting medical study of neurological conditions, written in a easy to understand style for the general reader. ( ) Technically, this is a reread because I read this book years ago. More years than I care to remember. It was a life-changer then. One chapter referred to a condition I'd experienced. Another enabled the diagnosis of a rare condition from which my father-in-law was suffering. The rest were just plain fascinating. I'd borrowed the book from the library, but was sufficiently impressed to have amazon track down an out of print copy for me. It was this copy that I've just read again. This time I was prompted by a friend with mysterious symptoms. Would the answer lie in these amazing tales of Clinical Neurology? Sadly, no. I'll reread the sequel 'Newton's Madness' in hopes that some light may yet be shed. Meantime, I've revisited some wonderfully described case histories that are potential fodder for my writings, and even if not used have been just as interesting second time around. A collection of amazing case histories of patients with baffling symptoms andbehaviors that occur when something goes wrong with the complex interworkings of the brain and nervous system. A neurologist recounts some of his most extraordinary cases and reflects on how recent developments in neurology are shedding new light on the behaviour disorders of people in the past - what happened when Toscanini lost control of his orchestra? Did Mao Tse Tung have Parkinson's Disease? and don't eat chickling peas. Inspiring and thought provoking!: It is an excellent book that illustrates the exciting field of clinical neurology very well! You will find yourself trying to diagnose the patients yourself and be amazed by the suave approach Dr. Klawans handles each case. An appreciation for the title will follow only if you read the entire book, which is very easy because it's so very interesting. ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse
