Five Stars ***** "This book should be on the shelf of anyone caring for patients with stroke or who are involved in its diagnosis and treatment as it offers the most up-to-date review of the scientific basis for the decision process. The book cannot be compared to any other book in the field as it is the compilation of papers delivered at a conference where a broad range of clinical and basic science topics are covered. This, like all editions of the Princetion Conference Proceedings, should be cherished." Doody's Review Service:Cathy M. Helgason, MD, University of Illinois at Chicago College of Medicine
