AB It  is  with  great  humility  that  we  present  The  Hospital  Neurology  Book  to  the  medical  community.  Traditionally,  textbooks  of  medicine  served  the  double  purposes  of  being  comprehensive  repositories  of  information  as  well  as  pedagogical  tools.  We  took  into  account  the  changing  way  physicians  access  information  relevant  to  their  practice.  Most  of  our  colleagues  access  detailed  information  online  through  review  articles  and  medical  sites.  We  concentrated  on  presenting  hospital  neurology  in  a  digestible  way,  concentrating  on  practical  information  and  approach,  while  providing  references  to  more  detailed  sources  of  information.  We  chose  the  case-based  approach,  in  line  with  the  most  recent  research  regarding  the  way  we  assimilate  information.  We  avoided  concentrating  on  rare  diseases,  however  interesting  or  elegant  their  mechanism  may  be,  and  only  explored  disease  mechanisms  when  we  thought  it  would  help  with  the  understanding  of  the  disease  and  its  management.  In  short,  we  aimed  the  book  to  be  a  practical  and  pedagogical  tool  for  the  “gardener”  rather  than  the  “botanist”  to  paraphrase  one  of  the  greats.
