Hardcover. Condizione: Very Good. 1st Edition. First edition, first printing of William S. Fields and Noreen A. Lemak's historical study of the recognition, understanding, prevention, and treatment of stroke and cerebrovascular disease. The authors trace the evolution of medical knowledge concerning stroke from early descriptions of apoplexy through the increasingly sophisticated anatomical, physiological, diagnostic, and therapeutic advances of modern medicine. Particular emphasis is placed on the twentieth century, when advances in vascular anatomy, diagnostic imaging, cerebrovascular surgery, and medical treatment transformed stroke from a poorly understood clinical event into a distinct field of neurological investigation. Fields and Lemak place these developments within their historical context, examining how earlier physicians and scientists often reached remarkably accurate conclusions about cerebrovascular disease even when available technology prevented those observations from being translated into effective treatment. 211 pages, with bibliographical references and index.
