As the medical school curricula change towards a more "problem-orientated" approach and the time available for each speciality keeps shrinking, this textbook will come in handy. It contains an initial discussion of the essentials of history-taking, examination and diagnostic techniques. The authors then move on to discuss different symptoms and their possible causes. There are clinical vignettes/related explanations with revision questions at the end of each chapter that could be useful to people trying to set undergraduate examinations. There is also a multiple choice section at the end of the book. The content seems quite up to date, for example there is a quick discussion on the newer magnetic resonance imaging techniques and stroke diagnosis. In summary, I found this to be a well-illustrated book that one could recommend to students/tutors trying to cover a neurology syllabus and Membership candidates. It would also be helpful to a student
