Textbook of Medicine

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 emphasize key features; summary boxes highlight essential facts and aid revision.
