Review:

This is another superb book from the e-dition Elsevier stable and again it is difficult to find fault with this offering. You can see the volume of content available from the first few pages where there is a list of contents. To my eye it was comprehensive-in addition there are pages and pages of names of contributors from all over the world. The UK and USA are well represented but so are many other countries. Over a long period I used this as a reference source for Gastroenterology and Hepatology and it was superb. Now I am a GP and not a specialist but I am sure that my specialist colleagues would love this. -- Univadis, Medical and More Description: this is a basic one-volume textbook covering the breadth of practise-based gastroenterology. Using a standard format the book draws from an impressive array of international contributors to cover pertinent, current topics in the field.
