Since the publication of the first edition of Jasper's Basic Mechanisms of the Epilepsies in 1969, this book has served as the gold standard for epilepsy researchers as well as an indispensable resource for clinicians as scientific advances find their way into clinical translation. It is unquestionably the “bible” of epilepsy research. The fourth edition, published in 2012, exceeds the previous editions in both content and heft, weighing in at just under 7 pounds. With 90 chapters and more than 1,200 pages, this volume is monumental by any definition. The list of 199 contributing authors reads like a who's who of experts in epilepsy research. It is the kind of book one would like to curl up with on a lazy winter afternoon—ah—if only there was time to absorb the book in its enormity!
