Nervous system diseases are examined by a disease investigator in much the same fashion that Crime Scene Investigators (CSI) examine crimes. The diseases highlighted in this book are tetatnus, malaria, botulism, rabies, and meningitis.
With bright illustrations and very engaging text, Dr. Faulk takes the reader through the scienetific method of investigating a nervous system illness when it falls upon people. Each case investigated begins with the "crime", and what happened to the patient prior to his/her illness. The clues and suspects are then analyzed and investigated, with evidence being tested and a verdict (or conclusion_ being drawn. "Justice" is served when the treatment for the disease is determined and begun. Each of the nervous system diseases in this book follows the same investigative pattern, making it very easy for students to follow the material presented. The book then tests whether the reader has learned information to conduct their own investigations in a section called "You Solve the Case". The book concludes with a glossary, further reading (print and web) and an index.
