Reviews
Editorial Reviews: Review …the reason this new edition is particularly unique and appealing, is the incredible reorganization. Each section is consciously split-up to be both more comprehensive and more concise. A concerted effort has been made to have each section organized into parallel subsections for ease of reading throughout…Overall, Handbook of Neurosurgery is one of the most important texts in neurosurgery. — World NeurosurgeryThere are, of course, many books on neurosurgery available, but to this reviewer, Dr. Greenberg’s newest edition is highly useful and the best way for a neuro-radiologist to have at his/her finger tips a complete overview of the field. — ANJR Blog From the Author I was recently asked what the main differences were between the 8th edition of the Handbook of Neurosurgery and the previous 7th edition. While it is easy to point to the new section on endovascular neurosurgery, and to mention the updates in molecular genetics of brain tumors as well as the hundreds of content updates throughout the book, I feel that one of the most significant differences is in the organization of the book. Hundreds of hours of work were spent by myself, Dr. Michael Wachinger, and countless others to reorganize the book into approximately one hundred roughly equal sized sections that would provide a quantum of information that would be meaningful but not overwhelming. The hierarchy of section headings has also been simplified and streamlined. I feel this has resulted in a better organized, more useful reference that will also translate well to digital format. I hope you like it!
