Editorial Reviews
Review
[Four stars] easy and efiicient question-and-answer review of neurosurgical topics.–Doody’s ReviewNevertheless, this book serves as a wonderful example of how to turn the classic Greenberg text into a study guide rather than an encyclopedic reference to young neurosurgeons. Using a variety of question formats presented in a well-organized fashion, it serves as an excellent review of a panoply of neurosurgical topics.–AANS Young Neurosurgeons’ Newsletter
