Review

"Unlikely to be surpassed for some time, this engaging and scholarly book is a goldmine of previously inaccessible information."--Journal of the American Medical Association

"Murray has crafted a rich and detailed history of multiple sclerosis, replete with figures and wonderful quotations that form a tapestry of the events that have led to the current view that this condition is an autoimmune disease."--New England Journal of Medicine

"A fascinating and monumental work, a pleasure to read. The contents should be accessible to a wide audience, and provide an excellent understanding of multiple sclerosis, the history of neurology, and the philosophy of science... [the book] shows depth and breadth of understanding and a passion for the subject; moreover, the style of presentation makes it an easy and addictive read, enhanced by well annotated illustrations." -- Journal of the Royal Society of Medicine

"With a light and erudite hand [Murray] shows how developments in knowledge about multiple sclerosis have mirrored developments in medical science...Murray's handling of detail is admirable, and helps make sense of this disease history." --The Lancet

"Murray is a well-published authority, and his history of the disease is clearly written and well documented...Heavily illustrated with photographs of practitioners who have contributed to MS research and treatment, neurological diagrams, and epidemiological maps...Recommended." -- Choice

"Jock Murray provides an excellent guide to how eminent physicians, scientists and patients have viewed multiple sclerosis down the years, both as an interesting disease and a personal affliction... With this monumental book, [he] has proved himself to be a teacher of the history of multiple sclerosis that sets a new standard [that] is unlikely to be surpassed..." -- Brain

"A 'must' for any serious health collection." -- The Bookwatch

"The narrative is highly readable, provides an outstanding overview of recent medical history and medical philosophy, and is enhanced by the author's viewpoint and clinical experience."--Mayo Clinic Proceedings
