Kritik
From the reviews:

"This is a didactically well-written book on stereotactic radiosurgery of the brain. ... The book's structure is logical and easy to follow. ... The book is of great interest to neurosurgeons whether beginners or advanced in the field of radiosurgery. ... The book should be part of the library in any radiosurgery center that treats lesions of the CNS and in any department of neurosurgery ... . It should be mandatory reading for young neurosurgeons irrespective of the subspecialty they might choose." (Thomas Mindermann, Acta Neurochirurgica, Vol. 154, 2012)
