  The Textbook of Medicine provides a comprehensive account of clinical medicine incorporating the language and ideas of modern medical science. The book discusses clinical medicine in the context of the growth in our understanding of the mechanisms of disease. The book is pitched at the level of the junior doctor in training while at the same time it will appeal to all medical students who desire more than a fairly synoptic account of clinical medicine as found in books like Kumar: Clinical Medicine and Davidson's Principles Practice of Medicine . The necessity to keep fully up-to-date applies to trainee and practising physicians who are all required to maintain a satisfactory knowledge of all areas of general medicine. This book provides the level of information that this market requires. The website (new for this edition) includes additional materials - MCQs, illustrations and case studies - that are not in the book.

  A comprehensive account of clinical medicine incorporating the language and ideas of modern medical science. The book discusses clinical medicine in the context of the growth in understanding of the mechanisms of disease and corresponding changes in the content and form of the pre-clinical teaching of medical science.

In addition, the book has been carefully designed for ease of use, headings guide the reader through the text, line illustrations integrate with the text, colour is used to emphasise key features, summary boxes highlight essential facts and aid revision. Features: * Written by a team of authors selected from medical schools throughout the UK for their teaching abilities and clinical expertise * Each chapter is written by a specialist in that area and vetted both by team members and external advisors in order to ensure consistency of approach and the appropriate level of details for the market * Headings guide the reader through the book * Line illustrations integrate with the text * Colour is used to emphasise key features * Summary boxes highlight essential facts and aid revision * Recent Advances feature added throughout * Colour photographs support the text This is a tremendous book ...I just can't find anything about it to criticize ...it combines clear writing with a sensible layout.. Kumar and Clark is also a clear book but the text is everywhere...you won't need another book St Mary's Hospital Gazette Relative to the main competitor, Kumar and Clark, the Textbook of Medicine is the sensible option if a practical book is required which is pleasurable to use. Cambridge Medicine I think this is an excellent textbook of medicine and I have no hesitation in recommending it. British Journal of Hospital Medicine comprehensive, thoughtful, and lucid. It will certainly feature on our recommended list. The Lancet
