Walter G. Bradley is a Fulbright Fellow, the lead author of Neurology in Clinical Practice, and emeritus chairman of the Department of Neurology at the Miller School of Medicine, University of Miami.
"'We are our brains, ' observed Hippocrates, over two millennia
ago. We all have one, and it behooves us to know as much about it
as possible, since one in three of us will suffer from a brain
disease. Professor Bradley, with the hard earned ease of decades of
neurological practice, education and research, conveys vital
knowledge in a manner that is both interesting and enlightening. A
high achievement indeed."--Vladimir Hachinski, University of
Western Ontario --Vladimir Hachinski
"The human brain is the organ that allows us to perceive and act,
to learn and remember, and to think and feel. Dr. Walter G.
Bradley, one of the world's leading neurologists, has written a
wonderful book for people who are not neurologists, but want to
learn about the brain. This book clearly describes how this complex
organ works, what happens when it breaks down and how it might be
repaired. Dr. Bradley's book is an ideal user's handbook."--Kenneth
M. Heilman M.D., James E. Rooks Jr. Distinguished Professor
Department of Neurology University of Florida --Kenneth M.

"Here's a man in a white coat who gets right to the point, makes it
clearly--and has a good story to tell along the way. Chairman
emeritus of the neurology department at the University of Miami's
Miller School of Medicine, Bradley is the patient-friendly doc for
the rest of us, providing an easy-to-read roadmap through the
research, anatomy and science of the convoluted highway and byways
of the brain. 'You have to go to see Dr. Bradley. He will figure
out what is wrong with you!' one family doctor urged his own
hard-to-figure patients. It's not just bragging. Bradley coolly
tackles diagnoses from migraines to movement disorders, brain
injury to neuropathies, epilepsy to cancer. None of it is terrain.
But Bradley navigates with such ease and wisdom--gleaned primarily
from his own practice--that the information, even if occasionally
frightening (chapters are devoted to head and spinal cord injuries,
brain cancer and other diseases of the brain and nervous system),
is never overwhelming. 'In good health, we need to respect and
protect the brain if we expect it to do everything we ask of it.'
Luckily, there's this handy guide for the times when we need
help."--Publishers Weekly-- "Publishers Weekly"
"With so much of the brain still shrouded in mystery, this book
gives a blow by blow account of how the brain works and the various
injuries and diseases that can plague it. Treating the Brain is a
wonderful handbook for all who wish to learn more and hope to help
fathom our future potential to heal."--Lee Woodruff, coauthor of In
an Instant and author of Perfectly Imperfect--Lee Woodruff
