This is a great little volume that provides an up to date and concise description of the anatomical and functional bases of the cerebral circulation, from an expert in the field. Cerebrovascular physiology is an area of great interest for its implications in functional brain imaging and for brain pathology, e.g., stroke and dementia. However, up to date books on the subject are hard to find, and, to my knowledge, the last authoritative book dedicated to this topic was published in 2002 (Edvinsson and Krause, Cerebral Blood Flow and Metabolism, Lippincott). In the meantime, much progress has been made in the field. Therefore, Dr. Cipolla’s book is definitively the place to go for a comprehensive oveview of the cerebral circulation and would be a valuable source of information for those interested in cerebrovascular physiology and pathophysiology. The extensive number of recent references provides a useful source for those seeking more information. Definitely a keeper!
