Críticas

The award citation described the book as "Beautifully constructed with superb clarity of style - Davidson's continues to provide for students, doctors and other health professionals a sound basis for the practice of medicine." "This book comes through where others fail...an excellent textbook; easy to read and superb value? British Medical Journal review of the 19th edition "If you buy one textbook of medicine it has to be this one...Good evidence based and medicine of the elderly boxes and clinically relevant information, brilliant for writing up long cases/PBLs? Edinburgh University Medical Student, UK "Few, if any, competing texts are as beautifully or extensively illustrated. Both the photographs and the line drawings are spectacular, with wonderful color reproduction and a clean, fresh look. The textbook is, quite simply, a joy to read. " JAMA "The text is comprehensive and very up to date using digestible language to inform and educate the reader. The use of detailed colour diagrams and pictures also enhances the readers understanding and makes the text more manageable. At the end of the first chapter the authors list additional resources which the reader can then search out in order to gain more information on particular topics. I found this to be an invaluable aspect of the book and also allows readers to clarify any uncertainties by accessing information from a different resource.? Nottingham University Medical Student, UK "In my opinion, the best new aspect about this book is its online contents...[such as] bonus content from other textbooks including Macleod's Clinical Examination and best of five self-testing questions, which allow you to test your knowledge of each chapter. I have found this invaluable for preparing for exams and they give you a very good idea about how much more revision you need to do. I would recommend Davidson's to any medical student, but especially to those in their clinical years. " Edinburgh University Medical Student, UK "I liked the approach taken in Davidson's - the detailed information explains complex ideas in a clear and easily understandable style, but in sufficient detail to give a true understanding of the material.? Dundee University Medical Student, UK "The whole offering is fabulous value for money, it is a wonderful textbook and website offering and is useful for medical students and doctors wherever they are and whatever level they are studying at. " Dr Harry Brown, Univadis
