Oxford Handbook of Respiratory Medicine Reviews

This is another blockbuster from the highly respected Oxford Medical Handbook Series and as expected, this is superb. Like the other siblings in the series, it is packed with huge amounts of information relevant to clinical practice, in the title topic... Crucially it is well written, easy to read and packed with information that is relevant to the topic. I would say, this is information dense but highly readable and written with dealing with patients in mind. * Dr Harry Brown, Glycosmedia *
