"The material covered in this Manual is comprehensive and particularly rich...[and] the digital format allows readers to study a specific section in its entirety or to jump from one area to another for contrast and comparison. The authors state in their own introduction that they attempt to "demystify" the neurological examination, but in my view, their success is quite different, as their work in fact magnifies the wonderful mystery of neurology and allows readers to enter into this mystifying world with comfort...In its unique format and breadth, it is a modern educational tool that provides information not otherwise available on the ever-evolving nuances of phenomenology and the authors' personal and special techniques to use clinical signs to advance diagnostic accuracy. The authors provide archetypal examples, but also show much more complicated cases with difficult diagnoses." -- Christopher G. Goetz, MD, Department of Neurology, Rush University Medical Center, Chicago, IL

"This monumental work on neurological signs...[is a] truly extraordinary addition to the neurological literature...The star turn is of course the 950 video clips, with descriptions of signs, tips, cases and footnotes...As a rule I am sparing in my use of superlatives, but this comprehensive work is quite remarkable - well-constructed and cross-referenced, and easy to navigate. It really is essential reading, watching and owning for every neurologist, whether trainee or senior Professor. How I wish that such a guidebook had been available when I started my neurological career in the 1970s, but how delighted I am that I can use it to feast on the rich semiology and history of our chosen speciality. Amazing! Bravo!" -- Niall Quinn MA, MD, FRCP, FAAN, FANA, Emeritus Professor of Clinical Neurology, UCL Institute of Neurology and, Honorary Consultant Neurologist, National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery, Queen Square, London, UK

"The Manual of Neurological Signs is a real tour de force developed by the team of experienced clinicians and educators John Morris and Paddy Grattan Smith. The clinical histories have been accumulated during their distinguished careers encompassing the full range of neurological presentations. Their novel use of patient video format is easy to navigate, with a clear and logical layout. The Manual is a refreshing aid to complement standard textbook presentations of neurological disease, and will be highly valued by clinicians deciphering neurological disease at the coal face." -- Matthew Kiernan PhD, DSc, FRACP, Professor of Neurology, Prince of Wales Clinical School, Randwick, Sydney, NSW 2031, Australia; Senior Scientist, Neuroscience Research Australia; and Editor-in-Chief Journal of Neurology, Neurosurgery and Psychiatry

"Drs. John Morris and Paddy Gratton-Smith have produced a unique offering in their Manual of Neurological Signs. In recent years it has become commonplace for videotapes to be included on CDs published with textbooks and some publishers offer access to this type of material on their websites. However, none have provided such an extensive display of extremely well documented case material in such an easily accessible, intuitive format... In the Manual of Neurologic Signs, Drs. Morris and Gratton-Smith have provided us with the next important advance in the long history of graphic depiction of neurology." -- Anthony E.
