Recenzii

"…an extremely good book. The chapters are authoritative, clearly written, relatively concise, and well referenced. Although this book is a second edition, it is not mean to replace, but rather to supplement, the first edition."
-Doody's Review Services


"…The current edition is not merely an update of the first one; new authors have been recruited and chapter titles reflect changing concepts of pathogenesis….It is difficult to think of any important topics that have been omitted. Clinicians working with patients, the patients and their families, and investigators will appreciate this new, up-to-date, thorough, and handsomely produced volume."
