Synopsis
This book summarizes the portrayal of major neurologic syndromes and clinical signs in cinema. More than 100 blockbuster and classic films are reviewed including Rain Man, My Left Foot, Million Dollar Baby, Awakenings, Pi , and Memento, as well as documentaries. Each chapter includes text boxes with film dialogue chosen to draw in the reader and highlight key themes. Rating each film's accuracy, the book discusses nearly 50 neurology topics, explains them, and places them in a broader context. The book is accessible for all health care workers as well as the general public., Film directors recognize that neurologic disease impacts mind and motility and often use it in a plot or defining scene. It should be informative and educational to deconstruct neurologic representation in film. Neurocinema: When Film Meets Neurology is a collection of film essays that summarize the portrayal of major neurologic syndromes and clinical signs in cinema. Many films approach the reality of disease quite closely, and as a result, are deeply moving and memorable. Equally important, these films say as much about consequences as they say about the disorder. Therefore, the main themes include sudden confrontation with a major neurologic illness, disability from chronic neurologic disease, and failure to lead a normal life. More than 100 fiction films and documentaries are discussed in this completely original and definitive work on how film meets neurology. The book includes nearly 50 neurology topics, explains them, and places them in a broader context. The book is accessible for all health care workers and general readership. Eelco Wijdicks is a professor of neurology at the Mayo Clinic College of Medicine. He is the chair of the Division of Critical Care Neurology and an attending neurointensivist at Mayo Clinic Hospital, Saint Marys Campus. He has written numerous books and scientific articles on the clinical practice of neurocritical care. He is enamored with cinema and neurologic representation in fiction and documentary films. Dr. Wijdicks has written film reviews for Neurology Today and THE LANCET Neurology . He is the author of a major publication on the portrayal of coma in film and its potential effect on the viewing public.

- r***e (14)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseThe seller was very responsive to questions before and after the sale. They very mindfully packaged the Bible to protect it during shipping, and the shipping was really fast even for media mail with USPS. The Bible was in great condition except for a couple flaws, and the description of “clean text” was accurate. The price was fair and overall I am highly satisfied with my purchase and will definitely be ordering from this seller again, as they have a lot of books I want!NIV Study BIBLE Zondervan 10th Anniversary 1995 Genuine Leather Red Letter (#356612217838)

- k***_ (170)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseIt shipped quickly in solid packaging. It's still in original packaging, never used so it's not good as new, it is new. Got a good value on it. USPS took 8 days from Racine, Wisconsin to Sioux City, Iowa. No wonder they raised postal rates. I recommend this seller.
