Reviews

This is the third of three volumes on pediatric neurology, a topic that was previously omitted from the series. It contains 64 chapters assembled by Dulac. and coeditors Lassonde and Sarnat and contributed by neurologists, neuroscientists, pediatricians, and others from around the world, who address the diagnosis and treatment, as well as other facets, of neuromuscular disorders, cranial nerves and brainstem dysfunction, inborn errors of metabolism, heredodegenerative disorders, and postnatal toxic and induced disorders. --Reference & Research Book News, December 2013
