Summary: Profound, in the truest sense of the word.
Comment: "The Duus" is a classic textbook of neurology, first written many years ago by Professor Peter Duus, a german neurologist very evidently trained in the classical tradition. The text teaches clinically important "basic" neurology (as the translator puts it) through an emphasis on neuroanatomy. The chapters take the reader through the principle components of human neuroanatomy and offer insights along the way on the clinical and pathological manifestations of disease - ie. what happens when the anatomy becomes disordered. The writing is clear on the whole, though the translation certainly could be better in areas. Overall a beautiful contribution to pedagogic neurologic literature.

It is a testimony to the very troubling slide in the quality of general medical education in many developed nations today, particularly in North America, that most students of medicine, and even most residents in neurology, have not even heard of "the Duus", prefering to use instead the silly little watered down "high yield" trash so prevalent in American medical schools.

Summary: Best book supporting topographical examination in neurology.
Comment: In my opinion one of the best books about relationship between anatomical changes and clinical symptoms in neurology. It is continuation of tradition of german school in neurology. Contents of this book is focused on physical examination of the patient and do not concentrate on laboratory investigations. It supports recent knowledge about anatomy and physiology of central and peripheral nervous systems. It is written very precisely and consequently. The book contains very didactical figures and schemes performed by Gerhard Spitzer. They very simply and completely explain topographical relations. Most of the illustrations are double coloured. Descriptions of clinical cases enriche didactical values. It comprise a lot of informations which are compressed in relatively small volume. I warmly recommend this book for students of medicine who actually learn neuroanatomy, neurophysiology, neuropathology and neurology as well as for postgraduated clinicians.
