Short Textbook of Medicine - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

A Short Textbook of Medicine is one of a series of books which is being published with the intention of offering modern, low-priced textbooks suitable for qualifying and postgraduate students. The need for an inexpensive shorttextbook of medicine has been long felt and frequently expressed. Both the theory and practice of medicine are changing so quickly at the present time that any textbook is out of date- within a few years; whatthe clinical student requires, therefore, is a convenient and expendable manual of current practice rather than a iargeand comprehensive work'which he can use ail his life'. For wider reading he should be encouraged to consult original sources and to this end a few key references have been added to the principal chapters. The practitioner anxious to keep abreast of the times may also welcome a book of this size, for it gives rather fuller treatment to the more rapidly developing branches of medicine.
