From the Publisher
The book undoubtedly deserves a place on the shelves of all Medical (and Dental) School libraries, and for that matter in personal bookcases.Endeavour D.C. Watts There has been a longstanding need for a definitive single-volume, encyclopaedic treatment that expounds the subject in depth with clarity and accuracy. I consider that this treatise meets that need and will be valued by students, clinicians, academics and researchers in the public and private sectors who are working in this field or who may be considering doing so... The book is notable for the scholarship displayed in each section and has been produced to a high technical standard with an attractive layout and a full index...a quality product.
