The Oxford Handbooks have been an extremely valuable adjunct to the education of physicians in mu tiple areas of medicine in the United Kingdom and in many other countries, principally those with inkages to the educational processes of medicine in the United Kingdom. These books have been less used in the United States, although they have been fami iar to many in this country and greatly admired for their broad range of coverage, succinct presentations, easy accessibility, accuracy, and utility. The Oxford Handbook of Neurology has been one of these books, and it is widely used in the United Kingdom and other countries not only by medical students and trainees in neurology and neurosurgery, but also by internists, family physicians, and practitioners in many other fi elds of medicine. I have had the frequent experience of visiting hospitals in the United Kingdom and seeing house offi cers with an Oxford Handbook tucked into a pocket for easy, frequent access. When Oxford University Press fi rst approached me to ask whether I might consider serving as editor of the Oxford American Handbook of Neurology in an edition developed specifi cally for the United States, I was immediately interested because of my familiarity with the utility and widespread use of the book elsewhere. Having accepted this position, I recruited a group of my colleagues here at the University of Michigan to put together a volume that would refl ect modern neurology as practiced in the United States, with an approach that is up to date and modeled along the ines of the U.K. editions of the book. |
