Handbooks series and the exhaustive detail of the Oxford Textbooks The Oxford Textbooks, led by the renowned Oxford Textbook of Medicine, have found their way onto the shelves of clinics, libraries, and hospital departments the world over. They have earned praise for their careful integration of
basic science andt he best clinical practice, their international focus, an not least their exhaustive coverage. Spring 2000 sees an exciting new development - the publication of our new, eagerly-awaited one-volume textbook of medicine based on the Oxford Textbook of Medicine. The Concise Oxford
Textbook of Medicine retains all the authority of its parent text, whilst providing more concise and accessible information on how to manage every condition that a physician is likely to have to diagnose and treat. Starting with the content of the Oxford Textbook of Medicine, two of the original
editors have selected the most essential and practical content, and reorganized and restructured it for ease of use. The authors of the original Oxford Textbook of Medicine articles have been updated and rewritten their worl to make it more practically focused, and many new chapters have been
commissioned, whilst up-to-date references and many new illustrations have been added throughout. Every chapter of the Concise Oxford Textbook of Medicine has then been painstakingly edited by Professors Ledingham and Warrell to eliminate repetition and achieve complete consistency and clarity. No
other one-volume textbook of medicine is as international, readable, or accessible, and none has the balance and perspective of the Concise Oxford Textbook of Medicine Humane - for example, there are outstanding new sections on pain and palliative medicine International - this textbook has been
designed for use in all parts of the world and includes an outstanding section on infectious diseases Accessible - the style is eminently readable, and the new page design makes navigation easy and aids rapid text searches Comprehensive - and amazingly broad in scope for a one-volume textbook Every
practicising physician and trainee and many medical students will want to have a personal copy of this definitive textbook.
