Davidson's Principles and Practice of Medicine - Hardcover

The textbook has come a long way since the first edition in 1952 but remains true to its original ideals. One of the most praiseworthy features is the double-page spread on clinical examination preceding each of the systems. It has many strenghts, clear and logical layout, pithy and relevant information (with plenty of information boxes to highlight the most salient points), well-chosen photographs and beautiful illustrations. You will continue to gaze longingly thorugh the bookshop window until you have a copy of your own. Edinburgh Medics, a Res Medica supplement courtesy of the Royal Medical Society, July 2005
