From the reviews:“This volume in a series established in 1972 and sponsored by the European Association of Neurosurgical Societies reflects on major advances in neurosurgery. … Practicing neurosurgeons and residents and fellows in neurosurgery are the intended audience. … The illustrations, index, and references are well done. … are useful for both novice and experienced neurosurgeons.” (Ramsis Farid Ghaly, Doody’s Review Service, October, 2012)
