This edition features new chapters on neurotoxicology, neuroimaging, and neurogenetics including basic and more advanced concepts for the practitioner. Finally, as the health care system continues to evolve, a new chapter on population health and systems of care reflects current practice in team care, patient-centric approaches, and value-based care. 
*Pithy bullet points and standard prose allow the reader to assimilate concepts and key messages with ease

*Chapters are crafted in a way to appeal to both the visuospatial and analytic functional centers of the brain, as we stimulate the senses and learn \nHankey’s Clinical Neurology, Third Edition, will be of value to medical students, physicians in training, neurology fellows, neurologist and neurosurgeon practitioners, and advanced practice professionals (e.g., nurse practitioners and physician assistants) who are faced with neurologic practice challenges. 
 Review 
"Overall, the book is well written and that is a tribute to its many contributors-also listed at the front. The text is clear and concise and is aimed at a wide audience from medical students to primary care practitioners, specialist neurology nurses and established specialists wanting a refresh. The text is clearly laid out and coverage is broken up into tradition medical headings. One advantage of the eBook is that headings and titles are hypertext and so simple click with a mouse on a PC or touch on a smart device takes you to that section."

Books about stroke are a new phenomenon. For decades the occurrence of an insult to the brain from ischaemia or from haemorrhage was used to localize brain function or to describe syndromes. It was an academic pursuit and of little help to the patients. Prevention and therapy remained elusive. Fortunately, revolutionary changes followed upon several sequential and contemporaneous developments: imaging of the blood vessels, the brain and the heart, explosive new knowledge about thrombosis and strategies to modify it, surgical techniques to remove the lesions of arterial degenerations and faults, and the maturation of the science of epidemiology, methodology and biostatics which lead us on a path towards the practice of evidence-based medicine. The commendable aim of this book has been to assist practitioners to make practical use of this rapidly expanding body of knowledge. Their aims are well satisfied. They have written their material in such a way as to assist those at the bedside or the clinic, in sorting out what is truly valuable, to point out what is likely to become valuable, and to caution about therapeutic strategies which remain in the realm of speculation. The authors have taken a novel approach to the production of a multi-author book. They have eschewed the common custom of pasting together a series of chapters and sections produced by individual authorities with a variety of styles, containing a lot of tyresome overlapping. Instead, as a group of colleagues and friends, they have engaged in collaborative endeavour which makes use of all of their knowledge and ideas in the production of each chapter. Because they are innovative leaders in the stroke field, the end product is both authoritative and readable. With an approach that is reader friendly and even at time chatty, they have produced a remarkable distillation of that which currently is useful to know and utilize in the field of cerebral vascular disease.The readers of this landmark publication will return regularly for help as the ever-changing tide of clinical material and clinical problems sweeps up to their outpatient clinics, wards and stroke units.

In the second edition of this successful book, the authors have again worked closely together as a team to produce a seamless and consistently styled account of the diagnosis and management of stroke.  What is different about this book? As many of the excellent reviews of the first edition point out, it presents a unique approach to stroke, both from the uniformity and clarity of the style (achievable only by a team working very closely together) and the integrated clinical management that weaves together causation, presentation, diagnosis, management and rehabilitation. This book deliberately poses and answers many of the burning questions and controversies in stroke and achieves a rare combination of readability and broad coverage.
