  This encyclopaedia is written for young people (9-14), and is aimed at helping them and their carers understand more about epilepsy. Organized alphabetically, the reader can dip into any section of particular interest. Cross-referencing to other parts of the text is done by coloured words. Illustrated throughout with colour pictures, the topics covered include the scientific, medical, historical and social aspects of epilepsy. The book should not only be of interest to children, but also to all those, including parents, teachers, nurses and social workers, involved in the care of the epileptic child. Medical professionals should also find it particularly useful in counselling patients.
