The ambition of all successful editorial boards has been to provide an opportunity for mature scholarship and reflection, not constrained by artificial limits on space. The series provides a remarkable acocunt of progress over the past 35 years, both with regard to advances, detailed descriptions of standard operative procedures and in-depth reviews of established knowledge. The present volume is a new venture and id focused on a single topic namely - low-grade gliomas. It incorporates a multidisciplinary approach that should appeal to both experienced neurosurgeons and young neurosurgeons in training alike.
