"...an absolutely unique book...a great contribution to diagnostic, clinical, and academic neurology...[the author's] sense of humor, ability to simplify complicated issues, and strong scientific logic make reading this book pleasant and very useful from an educational standpoint. Rating: *****"--Doody's Health Sciences Book ReviewFrom reviews of the previous editions:"It is nice the way the author paints a picture of EMG as an extension of the neurologic history and examination, and the emphasis on principles of neuroanatomy and pathophysiology is valuable. At the same time, the book is almost encyclopedic, with highly detailed listings of differential diagnoses...this book should find a large readership. As the author states in the preface, ' the reader can refer to the cases to study or teach a specific problem, or thebook can be used as a programmed study text. [he also states that] this book is a labor of love, and it shows through to the reader."--Neurology, September 1991"Anyone wishing to acquire practical knowledge of clinical electromyography will benefit from this book. It will be especially useful for practicing electromyographers and those training in EMG. It should be available in the EMG lab where it will be used and appreciated regularly."--Journal of Neuropathology and Experimental Neurology, November 1991"Dr. Liveson has referenced his work thoroughly with almost 2000 citations from the literature, a suggested syllabus, an appendix of diagnoses, and a brief index after each patient vignette that identifies related cases. This makes it easy to adapt this book for teaching and self-instruction."--Surgical Neurology, 1991"This well written book uses case studies for teaching basic clinical electrodiagnostic medicine. Dr. Liveson creates an enjoyable learning process while avoiding particular protocols or methodologies. Inquisitive reasoning and improved bedside decision making are stressed."--American Journal of Physical and Rehabilitation Medicine, February 1992"...an absolutely unique book...a great contribution to diagnostic, clinical, and academic neurology...[the author's] sense of humor, ability to simplify complicated issues, and strong scientific logic make reading this book pleasant and very useful from an educational standpoint. Rating:*****"--Doody's Health Sciences Book ReviewFrom the Foreword:"Dr. Liveson's realm is Peripheral Neurologic diagnosis, viewed neurophysiologically by the clinician. He brings his delight in teaching to his writing. I commend this third edition, which is broader, up-to-date, and more inclusive than the previous versions. The reader will find it a useful addition to his or her library as a reference and teaching source. The book fills the needs of the electromyographer, providing a practical approach tosolve most of the problems commonly encountered in the field of peripheral Neurology."--Jun Kimura, MD, Professor Emeritus, Kyoto University From reviews of the previous editions:"It is nice the way the author paints a picture of EMG as an extension of the neurologic history and examination, and the emphasis on principles of neuroanatomy and pathophysiology is valuable.
