From the reviews:

"This book reflects Madjid Samii's surgical philosophy and ethics through some of his most prominent disciples. The purpose is to present common neurosurgical problems and the philosophy behind their medical and surgical management. Neurosurgeons, ENT surgeons, neurologists, and supportive medical staff are the main audience. ... This is an excellent contribution to the field and should be a part of any neurosurgical departmental library." (Celso Anger, MD, MSc, Doody's Review Service, March, 2008)
