Small Animal Neurology

The original edition of this text was published in German in 2004, followed by a second German edition in 2007. This English-language version (with editing by Simon R. Platt) makes available a valuable resource to a wider audience. Jaggy has brought together in an organized and consistent manner a remarkably in-depth treatment outstanding for its coverage of neurological examination, principles of investigation, neuroimaging, neurosurgery, neurophamacology, electrodiagnosis, and MRI based neuroanatomy--as well as coverage of clinical aspects, each structure of the nervous system in turn. Animal neurologist Jaggy (Vetsuisse Faculty Bern), a specialist in epilepsy in the dog, is affiliated with the Bern School of Clinical Animal Neurology as are most of the contributors (a handful each are from Germany, Italy, elsewhere in Europe, and the US). Distribution in North America of this English-language version of the text is by Blackwell Publishing. The included CD-ROM contains videos of clinical investigations and clinical cases demonstrating various diseases. Annotation c2010 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
