Reviews

'Beautifully illustrated...an excellent source to dip into for information...preparation for examination etc.'

- British Medical Association Reviewer for 2001 BMA Medical Book Competition

'a treasure-trove of outstanding clinical photographs, radiographs and superb colour diagrams, all specifically and uniformly put together for the book...This work will appeal to surgical trainees who will find it useful for the scientific basis of surgery on their way to consultant clinical practice. It will also be useful to those studying for Board and Intercollegiate examinations, to whom I strongly recommend it.'

- Review by D.J. Leaper in the British Journal of Surgery

'...this is probably one of the best presented books that I have seen in quite some time.'

'The content is good; it includes all the necessary areas in a reasonable amount of detail without becoming too concerned with minutiae.'

'I would...heartily recommend this to all trainees preparing for College and Intercollegiate examinations and as a very good textbook for a general surgeon who may or may not have a subspecialty interest'.

Mr DED MacLeod, Vice President, Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh in Journal of the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh 47:2
