Review
 Review from previous edition: "Over the past 3 weeks, it has had pride
of place on my office table, usually with one or other volume open at a
key page. 'Cor', is the typical response of colleagues entering the
room, 'Got a new textbook I see'.  At L275 and with metallic sheen on
the cover as  standard, this is the intellectual equivalent of a Jaguar
coupe and inspires similar levels of envy."     --Family Practice,
August 2003
"It is an invaluable source of information, well
written by experts in their respective fields.  It will be the first
reference source I choose when questions arise as I continue to practice
medicine."     --Doody's Journal, October 2003
"Can we have a
broader view of ourselves again as gatekeepers of the health of
populations?  This is an issue that is intelligently addressed. The
coverage of the global burden of disease, preventive medical strategies,
health policy, and costing are new and welcome additions. I found these
 sections to be especially thought-provoking and believe that they are
valuable reading for all budding medical graduates, teachers, and
researchers."     --The Lancet,  June 2003

"The Oxford Textbook
of Medicine has been regarded a  sound reference book for the past
twenty years, and this  new, even more comprehensive, three volume
edition just has  to be one of the most authoritative textbooks
available."     --Association of Lawyers for Children
"...the
text does not lose sight of the clinical implications of the science
being presented, in keeping with the underlying philosophy of the book
that the material must be of practical value to the physician."    
--From the foreword by Professor Sir Aaron Klug
 
     Product Description
 The Oxford Textbook of Medicine is the foremost international
textbook of medicine. Unrivaled in its coverage of the scientific
aspects and clinical practice of internal medicine and its
subspecialties, it is a fixture in the offices and wards of physicians
around the world. More comprehensive, more authoritative, and more
international than any other textbook, it focuses on offering practical
guidance on clinical management and the prevention of disease.
Three introductory chapters outline a philosophy which has always characterized the Oxford Textbook of Medicine.
It is humane, thought-provoking, and aims to instill in readers an
understanding of the role of medicine in society, and the contribution
it can make to the health of populations.

As always, there is
detailed coverage of all areas of internal medicine. The integration of
basic science and clinical practice is unparalleled and throughout the
book the implications of research for medical practice are explained.
The core clinical medicine sections offer in-depth coverage of the
traditional specialty areas. The Oxford Textbook of Medicine
has unsurpassed details on infectious diseases: the most comprehensive
coverage to be found in any textbook of medicine. Other sections of note
include: pain; bioterrorism; forensic medicine; medical disorders in
pregnancy; travel and expedition medicine; nutrition; the use of stem
cells; regenerative medicine, and psychiatry and drug-related problems
in general medical practice.

In response to detailed research, there have been substantial changes to ensure that the Oxford Textbook of Medicine
continues to meet the needs of its readers. New chapter summaries give
accessible overviews of the content. All 2,500 illustrations and
photographs are now in full color, and a new design ensures that the
textbook is easy to read and to navigate. The evidence-base and
references have been entirely overhauled.
And now, for the first time, the Oxford Textbook of Medicine
is available in an online edition. Containing the full text and all the
figures and illustrations, the online version has a clear and
easy-to-use interface with excellent navigation and search and browse
options. In addition, the online edition facilitates links to sources of
related and further reading via PubMed, ISI, and CrossRef. All the
figures are downloadable into Powerpoint; an excellent tool when
preparing presentations and lectures.

Purchasers of the print edition of the Oxford Textbook of Medicine,
fifth edition, will also be able to purchase access to the online
edition for a reduced rate by following the instructions given in the
