The second edition of this unique text for clinical neurology provides an expanded picture on the variation of neurological disease across the world. As the field of neurology develops there is a need for clinicians to keep abreast of global trends and patterns. Most texts consider only Western populations and miss many of the variations that are present in modern, mixed heritage communities and as such, the wrong models of causation can be applied, leading to insufficient diagnosis and ineffective management. Equally, the increase in international travel has made it more likely that patients present to physicians with diseases they have not yet seen, or with different manifestations of diseases they have seen.
