Lots of headings guide the reader through the text quickly and easily; specially commissioned line illustrations integrate with the text and use colour to emphasize key features and aid understanding; summary boxes highlight essential facts and aid revision. For this edition the chapter on dermatology is now in colour and there are five new contributors (Dr Lip-Bun Tan (Leeds), Dr Brian Cooper (Birmingham), Dr Gareth Williams (Liverpool), Dr Jeremy Gibbs (London), Dr Robin Graham-Brown (Leicester). There is also a greater use of visual devices to convey information in a succinct, memorable way - more illustrations, tables and tinted boxes, and increased use of colour. The book has a new format and duplication or non-essential information has been eliminated. An ELBS/LPBB edition is available.
