Synopsis

The Sixth Edition is a thorough revision of the world's leading reference in neuropathology. Greenfield's is now published in two volumes and has increased in length by almost a third compared to the fifth edition. Its newest and most spectacular feature is a new chapter on tumors comprising almost 300 pages. The editors have collected contributions from an impressive array of experts from around the world. They have radically revised or rewritten chapters, many of which present information not available elsewhere. The revolutionary advancements in molecular biology that are changing the practice of neuropathology fundamentally have been incorporated throughout the text, with an emphasis on their clinical relevance. Over 1000 new color photographs in addition to numerous other illustrations enhance the quality and accessibility of this volume. Finally, the acclaimed features of the core text--a clinical summary at the beginning of each chapter, comprehensive coverage of the various disorders, a full index, and an appropriate balance between text and illustrations--have been retained in the new edition.

Review

Praise for the Fifth Edition:

"Excellent in terms of both the information and the quality of the photographic material. The references are comprehensive and reflect what appears to be Greenfield's unstated goal throughout the years of presenting a textbook that is as exhaustive as possible."--Journal of Neuropathology and Experimental Neurology

"The strength of this book is its detailed description of the pathological anatomy of neurologic diseases...better than any other book I know. The illustrations are extensive and of very high quality. No practicing neuropathologist can be without Greenfield."--The New England Journal of Medicine

"Through five editions, Greenfield's has maintained and expanded comprehensiveness, as well as extraordinary scholarship. Although multi-authored, the literary style is uniform and pleasurable. The illustrations are numerous and of superb technical quality....The bibliographic citations are generous and provide a broader international reference source than existed in previous editions....Superb...A wealth of information for general pathologists and neurosurgeons, and a valuable reference tool for internists....Peerless source of information."--Archives of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine
