The book is edited by some of the leading authorities in the field and is very well organized, with each chapter dedicated to a specific anatomical structure constituting the relevant anatomy to the craniocervical junction. Both the anatomical references and the biomechanical studies that demonstrate the functionality of each ligament and structure are well-referenced and thoroughly discussed.Areas of controversy and debate are skillfully pointed out, and readers are appropriately directed to the original scholarship. Each chapter is also well-organized and contains anatomical images of the important structures, through cadaveric dissections, medical illustrations, as well as skull and spine photographs. These images are supplemented with 3-dimensional computed topography scans to provide gross perspective to the relevant anatomy. Some chapters provide a nice historical narrative, with photographs of the pioneering scientists who discovered key structures, placing their legacy and contributions in the framework of our current understanding. The book ends with clinically relevant topics as they pertain to traumatic injuries to the craniocervical junction […] All in all, this is a well-written and nicely organized text. It is written with authoritative insight on a highly complex yet very important topic.”Ahmed Mohyeldin, MD, PhD, and Daniel M.
