There are few conditions as mysterious and surrounded by as many unthruths, half-thruts, and prejudices as epilepsy. This volume, by a group of world renowned epilepsy specialists, experts in all phases of epilepsy investigation and treatment, provides an excellent, up to date, objective, complete and straightforward discussion of all aspects of this disorder. It is essential reading for patients and families and provides for the reader a solid base for further personalized clarification by the epilepsy caregiver. Professionals involved in the treatment of epilepsy will also benefit from reading this authoritative, readable and non patronizing review. --Dr. Frederik Andermann, Professor and Chief of Epilepsy Service, McGill University.
