    Book description

    Stroke is one of the most important and most feared conditions known to man. The threat of stroke is important to all people. What could be more devastating than to lose the ability to speak, move a limb, stand, talk, see, read, feel write or even think?This book brings together ideas, events and advances – the stories – before and during the 20th Century through the accounts of global experts in the field, many of them having been first-hand witnesses to progress. Focusing on selected stories of stroke, this book offers a readable summary of the most dramatic and extensive changes in knowledge about stroke and in caring for stroke patients. Of interest to anyone interested in neurosciences and for physicians caring for stroke patients, this book informs on moving forward, by looking to how we got to where we are.

    Reviews

    'This impressive and hefty book provides an excellent overview of stroke history in its entirety. It includes easily readable and referenced articles on topics most relevant to modern stroke care, lending important historical context that frames just how far the stroke field has progressed in the last 50 years.'
