Stroke and the Family: A New Guide (The Harvard University Press Family Health Guides)
Joel Stein has written a comprehensive guide to stroke for patients and their families. It covers all the basics of stroke care, from prevention to returning home from hospital through rehab. Dr. Stein's book will be a 'must' for families and patients living with the after effects of stroke. The writing is clear and easy to understand, and the information-packed text uses patient vignettes skillfully to  illustrate very important issues in an engaging and humane manner. (Walter J.
