Evoked Potentials III: The Third International Evoked Potentials Symposium

This is the 45th volume of the Neurology and Neurobiology series, and the first in this series to be devoted entirely to epilepsy. It is in fact the proceedings of a conference held in Bad Kreuznach, in September 1987, concerned with many aspects of the Lennox Gastaut syndrome. The book consists of 30 chapters, by over 70 distinguished contributors from the world ofpaediatric neurology and epileptology. The Lennox Gastaut syndrome was first defined in 1966 and since then has been extensively discussed, although whether the constellation of signs constitutes a specific syndrome is questionable (an issue not addressed in this text). What does this book contribute? It undoubtably provides the most accessable source of reference material about the syndrome, and covers a wide range of topics. Some are important, recent, and not available in the English language literature, and are well covered here. As with so many published proceedings, however, there is much which is redundant or repetitive. The quality is variable, with some excellent chapters, for example on neuropathological and electrophysiological aspects, and some which are both weak and uncritical. The book is also notably poorly produced (even for a camera ready text), with mixtures of type faces, styles and formats; this does no justice to the editors or the authors, and is an abrogation ofa publishers' art. This is for the shelves of an epilepsy specialist only, and one prepared to overlook the poor production quality.
