This book is written succinctly, remains comprehensive in scope, and is exceptionally well organized, easy to read, and well illustrated. This book is similar to Greenberg's Handbook of Neurosurgery in which the essentials are distilled and concisely presented. The anatomy, function (as shown by the clinical examination), and clinical syndromes are described beautifully using a combination of text, schematic illustrations, and photographs of subjects under actual examinations. In summary, this gem of a book provides both the novice and seasoned clinician with a means of rapidly learning and reviewing the essentials of peripheral nerve anatomy and function in an extremely succinct and well-organized form. It is aptly named and its price ($49.95) makes it a bargain. It can be conveniently carried in one's coat or jacket pocket where it deserves to be.--Journal of NeurosurgeryCareful focus to detail and the wealth of information useful for the trainee or for the more experienced clinician wishing a little refres
