Review quotes

material is well written, detailed, and appropriate for both the resident and experienced practitioner. The illustrations are good, and the text is well referenced... I refer to this edition regularly and find it answers most of my questions. The question of a single text reviewing the entire specialty remains relevant; these volumes do an outstanding job at this Protean task." - JAMA, review of the last edition
