Reviews
'The three editors, J. Ricardo Carhuapoma, Stephan A. Mayer and Daniel F. Hanley, have clearly succeeded in compiling a standard textbook of high quality (both in writing, tables, images and pictures). It contains all recent publications in the field of spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage ... This is definitely a [highly] recommendable book - it should be on the bookshelf of any neurointensivist dealing with such patients.' E.
