Diagnostic Neuropathology by Harry V. Vinters, Michael A. Farrell, Paul S. Michel, and Karl H. Anders is a comprehensive text that serves as both a primer and a detailed reference. While it is intended as a primer, its 650-page length and extensive coverage of neuropathology topics make it more than just an introductory text. The book is well-organized and readable, making it suitable for pathology, neurology, and neurosurgery residents. However, the text has a relatively small page count dedicated to neurodegenerative diseases compared to other topics like neoplasms, vascular disease, and infections. The book includes numerous black-and-white photographs of high quality, which enhance its educational value. Histologie du Système Nerveux de L'homme et des Vertébrés by Ramón y Cajal is an English translation of the original 1995 edition, published by Oxford University Press. It is a two-volume text that is a delight to read, offering intricate sketches and a rich historical perspective on neuroscience. The book is a valuable addition to any neuroscientist's library, as it provides insight into the history of neuroscience and offers a reference for understanding the nervous system. The introduction by W. Maxwell Cowan highlights the importance of Cajal's work, emphasizing the need to consult his findings before exploring any part of the nervous system. This book is a must-have for anyone interested in neuroscience history and the development of neuroscientific thought.Diagnostic Neuropathology by Harry V. Vinters, Michael A. Farrell, Paul S.
