Recenzii

From the reviews:
"This is a single author monograph describing recent work culminating in the contemporary approach to diagnosis of brain death. … Neurologists, neurosurgeons, intensivists, and transplanters are an appropriate audience for this work … . Black-and-white line drawings are done well and a selection of good color plates is grouped together. … This book smoothly sheds light on the biology and controversy surrounding an important clinical topic. … is attractive for its historical scope coupled with clinical clarity." (David J. Dries, Doody’s Review Service, July, 2008)
