This book has become a classic in its field, with its main feature still the outstanding illustrative material: 217 halftone and line drawings that in themselves justify the term "classic." The text of this third edition has been thoroughly revised and extended. For example, it contains a new section on the cerebrovascular system and the meninges. More attention has also been placed on the functional significance of the structures that are discussed and depicted, and numerous correlations with neuropathology and clinical neurology are indicated. This edition provides a straightforward, clear and reliable guide to the structural and functional organization of the human central nervous system. Designed primarily for students of medicine and psychology, it also provides informative reading for practising neurobiologists. Moreover, it has proved useful as an aide mA(c)moire for specialists in the neurological sciences.

USPS electronic tracking number issued free of charge. The particularly good reception enjoyed by our "The Human Central Ner vous System, a Synopsis and Atlas" has made a second edition necessary, hardly more than two years after its first appearance: This new edition enabled us to make a number of corrections, but it was judged premature to undertake a thorough updating of the text. However, a major improvement-suggested by some reviewers and many colleagues-is that in this new edition the abbreviations in the figures have been replaced by the full Latin terms. We want to emphasize that the study of this book can facilitate and deepen but never replace the study of the anatomical preparation. Acquaintance and histology of nervous tissue has been taken for with the basic cytology granted. This book is evidently often consulted with the aim of looking up a particular and its topographical relations. This cer structure together with its name is tainly one of the purposes of the book. We are, however, of the opinion that during a systematic study of the figures showing the functional systems in part IV, perusal of the accompanying text will be necessary. As a matter of fact the spatial representations of the fibre systems are no more than a visualization of the most salient features discussed in the text. The pictures are so to speak a snapshot of the current knowledge of a particular functional system within the central nervous system; no less, but no more either. 253 pages.
