He is the author of <i>Neurological Diseases in Clinical Medicine</i> (editors: Parveen Kumar and Michael Clark; publishers: Elsevier). The <i>sixth edition</i> is now in press. He has been closely involved in the book, written originally by consultants at St Bartholomew's Hospital, since the first edition in 1987.</p> <p><b>Dr Robin Howard</b> has been consultant neurologist at the National Hospital and St Thomas' Hospital since 1992. He has a large general neurology NHS practice and is consultant to three neurological intensive care units as well as directing clinical services for patients with motor neurone disease, myasthenia gravis and sleep disorders. He has written extensively - more than 100 peer reviewed papers and 30 review articles/book chapters.</p> <p><b>Professor Martin Rossor</b> has been in consultant practice since 1986. He is Professor of Neurology at the Institute of Neurology, honorary consultant neurologist at the National Hospital and St Mary’s Hospital. His particular clinical and personal interests are degenerative dementias and cognitive neurology.</p> <p><b>Professor Simon Shorvon</b> was appointed consultant neurologist at the National Hospital in 1983. His special interests are in epilepsy, imaging and epidemiology. He was previously Medical Director of the National Society for Epilepsy, the leading UK charity in the field of epilepsy and Chairman of the University Department of Neurology in UCL. He has published over 250 peer reviewed articles and 100 chapters and books.</p>

<p><b><i>Neurology: A Queen Square Textbook</i></b> has rapidly become established as an essential companion for practising neurologists and those undertaking specialist training in neurology throughout the world.</p> <p>This <i>second edition</i> has been fully revised and updated to reflect the rapid pace of development in clinical neurology and applied neurosciences. Each chapter incorporates an up-to-date review of recent advances in neurological management and is extensively illustrated with new figures and tables in full colour.</p> <p><i>Neurology: A Queen Square Textbook</i> is the only major neurology textbook written entirely from a single institution. It benefits from being edited in a collaborative manner to create consistent and authoritative subspecialty reviews.</p> <p>Highlights of the new edition include:</p> <ul> <li>Full-colour illustrations throughout.</li> <li>All chapters fully revised and updated to reflect the increasing role of neurologists in acute care.</li> <li>Introductory chapters summarising the basic sciences underpinning the practice of clinical neurology, including genetics, channelopathies, immunology, neurophysiology and neuropathology.</li> <li>New contributions highlighting major development in the care of stroke, epilepsy, dementia, Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis, neuromuscular disease, headache, infections, spinal disease, cranial nerve disease, neuropsychiatry, neurogenetics, neuro-oncology, uroneurology, neuro-otology, neuro-ophthalmology, pain medicine, sleep medicine, metabolic disease, drugs and toxins, autonomic disease, systemic disease and neurorehabilitation. </li> </ul> <p><b><i>Neurology: A Queen Square Textbook</i></b> maintains its core goals: to provide a coherent and practical overview of contemporary bedside neurological practice and of the principles which underlie the translation of neurosciences into clinical care.</p>
