The chapter discusses two books recently received:
1. **Diagnostic Neuropathology** by Harry V. Vinters, Michael A. Farrell, Paul S. Michel, and Karl H. Anders, published by Marcel Dekker, Inc. The book is described as a comprehensive primer with 650 pages, featuring numerous gross and microscopic photographs. It is well-written and suitable for residents in pathology, neurology, and neurosurgery. However, the text may be criticized for its uneven emphasis on different topics, such as neurodegenerative diseases, neoplasms, vascular disease, and infections.
2. **Histologie du Système Nerveux de L'homme et des Vertébrés** by Ramón y Cajal, translated and published by Oxford University Press. This two-volume work, originally published in 1995, is praised for its intricate sketches and historical significance in neuroscience. It is recommended for both academic and practical reasons, with Sir Wilfrid Le Gros Clark's quote emphasizing its value as a reference for any work on the nervous system.The chapter discusses two books recently received:
