A clear, concise, and approachable writing style helps students understand neurology in the context of speech-language pathology. Supplemented by a wealth of new illustrations and learning features for students, this new edition helps to demystify this often-daunting subject matter. The 5th edition also introduces a new author, Dr. Richard Adler, who brings a fresh perspective and an impressive clinical background.
Admittedly, I didn't get through the last few chapters, but I read way more of this textbook than I have ever read any other textbook for a college class. So, fuck yeah I'm counting it towards my yearly reading goal!
This got the basics of the job done. It presented neurology in such a way as to be relevant to the speech pathologist. However, it was not very successful at being engaging to read. Many things could have been explained more thoroughly. The organization felt hectic at times. But hey, neurology is an abstract, tough subject to teach. I don't fault the book too much.
