Opis

A new edition of a very popular volume in the highly regarded ABC Series, and a new addition too. With over 40 titles in print, and over 1 million copies sold, the ABC Series covers most topic areas in all the major specialties. With new titles and new editions constantly in preparation, this is a lively and up to date source of knowledge for those in primary care, and for residents and students. The two column layout, with relevant illustrations alongside the text, approximates to the illustrated lecture, making ABCs the most effective tools for rapid assimilation and understanding. Their worldwide distribution in over 13 languages is testimony to their enduring quality.
