• contains 26 completely new chapters and 61 new contributors
• includes pharmacological properties and prescribing information for all drugs used in the treatment of epilepsy
• features the important contribution of a new editor Jerome Engel Jr, Professor of Neurology at the University of California School of Medicine in Los Angeles.
