Books in the Health Issues series are detailed and honest - excellent for adults as well as young people. Sections covering the causes of epilepsy, the different kinds of seizures, what to do when one occurs, getting a diagnosis, treatments, understanding triggers and living with the problem are all explained clearly, using technical language carefully defined. Brief stories by young people with epilepsy, how it has affected them in different ways, information boxes and colour photographs help accessibility, and there are warnings about safety and things to avoid throughout a mostly positive approach. A list of useful orgnizations, companies from which one can obtain identification jewelry, and a good glossary will give practical help and advice. A first rate production.
