Epilepsy is more than just a physical condition; it has cultural, geographic, and historical significance which course deeper than the status of neurological entity, and which defy a single perspective. The End of Epilepsy? is a beautifully illustrated, authoritative, and engaging history of medical developments during the 'modern era' of epilepsy, which began with the introduction of Bromides and Hughlings-Jackson's definition of epilepsy in 1860. This thought-provoking book comprehensively covers the various classification theories that have been developed over the past 150 years. It explores the technological advances, and the different management techniques, such as drugs and surgical interventions, which have been applied to epilepsy up to the present day. By presenting an overview of the advances, improvements, and issues that have clouded medical, social, and political progress since the condition was defined, the authors critically examine ongoing research into new treatments for epilepsy. The book also explores the application of current and future clinical studies, and provides an insight into the complex underpinnings of scientific and medical practice.

Compliance is usually seen as the extent to which the patient's behaviour coincides with medical or health advice. Compliance carries succinctly different connotations for those who participate in its process. For the patient it may mean taking a drug regularly despite a number of grave reservations, or may mean depleting one's life style from pleasant and rewarding activities. Most of all, compliance requires giving up or curtailing the extent of individual freedom. It is generally accepted that about one-third to one-half of the people who are on chronic medication regimes use their medication in ways that differ from the clinical prescription. For evaluation of the various degrees of compliance it would be helpful to learn more about the risk - benefit ratio of less than complete compliance. All these important points, and more, are presented and reviewed in Compliance in Epilepsy.

Epilepsy is amongst the most frequently encountered of neurological disorders, yet its diagnosis and management is fraught with pitfalls. Issues surrounding differential diagnosis, seizure type, underlying causes, EEG interpretations, treatment options and prognoses can often trip-up clinicians. Common Epilepsy Pitfalls: Case-Based Learning, is a comprehensive guide to anticipating and managing the pitfalls in the diagnosis and management of epilepsy. Real-life cases are presented along with pragmatic recommendations for courses of action that guide the reader through accurate and effective epilepsy diagnosis and treatment. Cases have been chosen to answer key questions such as: the first seizure - is it epilepsy? Which drug? When should stopping treatment be considered? What to do in an epileptic emergency? Containing detailed coverage of psychiatric, social and family issues - and authored by world experts in epilepsy management - this text is invaluable for neurologists, internists, family practitioners and advanced medical students.

This second edition presents a timely and practical discussion of vagal nerve stimulation in a clear and well-illustrated format. It provides a clinical approach to the treatment of patients with medically-intractable seizures, as well as for those with depression (a new indication since the publication of first edition). The book's focus has made it successful, as it zeros in on clinically relevant findings. The new edition includes a CD-ROM with actual footage of the implantation procedure and the latest research findings of the treatment potential for depression and obesity. Vagus Nerve Stimulation gives the attending neurologist step-by-step information on this exciting method of treating epilepsy.

Nachdem Untersuchungen der letzten Jahre immer wieder gezeigt haben, dass Schüler im Physikunterricht physikalische Konzepte meist nicht erwerben, sondern ihre vorunterrichtlichen Vorstellungen beibehalten,  drängt sich die Frage in den Vordergrund, wie dennoch ein Erlernen der physikalischen Konzepte möglich ist. In vielen Gebieten der Physik ist dies nur über einen Konzeptwechsel erreichbar. In der vorliegenden Arbeit wird eine Fallstudie über die Anbahnung und den Vollzug eines Konzeptwechsels in einer Laborsituation vorgestellt. Weiterhin wird ein kognitionspsychologisch  orientiertes Modell über den Aufbau und den Wechsel von Konzepten diskutiert.
