Review:
"Multi-authored by extremely authoritative scientists and clinicians. In their preface, the Editors, as a user-friendly gesture, suggest that readers who want a simple clinical overview can read 6 of 46 chapters and then refer to the other chapters for detailed information about specific
disorders or treatment modalities. This is a superb book by an international cadre of authorities, and I recommend it for physicians who deal with dizziness/vertigo"--Robert B. Daroff, M.D. in Neurology
"Valuable for all physicians who deal with vertigo and dizziness. Scientists interested in the vestibular system will find a lot of valuable information."--The New England Journal of Medicine
"One major problem with all multiauthored books is the lack of cohesiveness. The editors overcome this problem by including one or two overview chapters at the beginning of each of the first three sections of the book. These are key chapters that are very readable by individuals at any level.
Other chapters are excellent for more detail....The book stands out from the rest as an excellent reference book and should appealto physicals who see a substantial number of patients with vertigo. Basic scientists working in the vestibular system will also find this book relevant due to the
inclusion of pertinent anatomy, physiology, and pharmacology in several of the chapters, many of which are written by individuals with a strong basic science background....These two neurologists are tops in their field and have contributed greatly to our understanding of patients with vestibular
disorders."--Ronald J. Tusa, M.D. Ph.D. Annals of Neurology
