Derived from Harvey Cushing's remarkablepersonal collection in the Brain TumorRegistry, The Legacy of Harvey Cushing:

Profiles of Patient Care presents a stunning historical account of Cushing's surgicalcases and research from 1905 to 1930.

This beautifully illustrated book features 800 of Cushing's surgical drawings andphotographs of patients and tumor specimens. Preserved untouched for sixty yearsin the Yale University Library, the images provide the earliest catalog of neurologicaland neuropathological disease and reveal the techniques employed by the founderof modern neurosurgery. The editors have carefully integrated these high-qualityphotographs and illustrations into a compelling narrative constructed from patients’hospital records and Cushing's meticulous notes at preoperative and postoperativestages of management. Discharge notes, letters from the family of patients, photo-graphs of patients years after surgery, and death reports further humanize eachclinical case and speak to Cushing's lasting dedication to his patients.

The book provides a glimpse of the extraordinary contribution that both Cushingand his patients made to the progress of neurological surgery in the twentieth cen-tury. This unique book will be prized by today's generation of neurological surgeonsand neuropathologists.
