Surgery at a Glance Reviews

"Rating * * * * *. Excellent! Great value for money."

Cambridge Medicine, Addenbrooke's Clinical Medical School

"This book should appeal to those who like to access information with the least effort...good for cementing and organising your knowledge...does effectively what its forebears do for undergraduate subjects: simplify, illustrate and explain in a user-friendly format"

2nd Opinion, The Magazine of the Scottish Medical Schools

"This book is ideal for finals as diagrams help the revision-numbed mind to retain information. It is extremely quick and easy to read and the list-based information is an ideal basis for short-answer questions."

Barts and the London Chronicle

"This delightful book is the latest in the At a Glance series and only the second on a purely clinical subject...The quality of the diagrams is such that for the majority of the topics the text is almost superfluous."

British Journal of Surgery

..".offers clinical students a valuable resource and revision aid for general surgery and other surgical areas that are likely to be seen in finals. Each of the 76 chapters consist of definitions, common causes, clinical features, investigations, and management; a useful strategy that can be applied to most clinical problems."

Student BMJ

"The book is concise, well organised, and very easy to use. The unique format will be well received by those who enjoy learning by visual aids."
