Main description:

Greenfield's is the world's leading neuropathology reference. It provides a comprehensive account of the pathological findings in neurological disease, their biological basis, and their clinical manifestations. The two volume work provides a remarkable text which is clear, comprehensive and precise with exceptional illustrations. The tenth edition features fully updated sections covering CNS tumours, neurodegeneration, skeletal muscle, epilepsy, paediatric and forensic neuropathology.Expert coverage from an international team of Editors and contributors ensures authoritative and up to date content. The two volume set includes a downloadable and easily used e-version.

This is a tried and tested reference for scientists, clinicians, researchers, and students who wish to learn more about neurological disease.
