This is a clinical neurology book for students and non neurologists, and for those who teach them. The book covers neuroanatomy, history taking and examination and then proceeds to discuss the clinical features of common problems as well as selected, less common neurological disorders, in a way that will demystify a part of medicine that many find complex and difficult to understand. The book is accompanied by a DVD explaining concepts, demonstrating techniques of performing the neurological examination and demonstration of abnormal neurological signs.

Reviews of Clinical Neurology -

I would strongly recommend this book to anyone who's looking for a book to introduce them to the field of neurology, and to anyone thats needs a quick refresher on neurological presentations. I have thoroughly enjoyed reading this book, gained plenty of new information, and have developed new ways of accessing neurological presentations." Review by Kane Guthrie Google Preview

.we may be seeing the birth of a new classic educational and training neurology textbook. I recommend it highly." Review by Neil Scolding, Burden Professor of Clinical Neurosciences - practical-neurology.com

Dr Gates has somehow deconstructed what a neurologist does and laid this bare for us to see. The result is a text of enormous utility to medical students, postgraduate students and importantly teachers of those students" Review by M. Leech - Internal Medicine Journal
