Concussions in Athletics: From Brain to Behavior is a timely and major contribution to the literature that comprehensively addresses the neuromechanisms, predispositions, and latest developments in the evaluation and management of concussive injuries. Also known as mild traumatic brain injury, concussion in athletics is a growing public health concern with increased attention focusing on treatment and management of this puzzling epidemic.

Review:
From the reviews:
“It provides overviews of the evaluation and management of patients with mild traumatic brain injury, it presents much more on the detailed pathophysiology and the potential for biochemical indicators. ... The intended audience is likely allied healthcare professionals ... . Practitioners, both with and without extensive concussion management experience, will find this book useful. ... I know of no other book that covers this topic as thoroughly. ... this is a comprehensive resource with contributions by experts in the field.” (Janna C.
