Review

Review of Mosby's Paramedic Textbook, 2nd Edition: 'The layout of this textbook is attractive, clear and concise. The writing style is very comprehensive, well-written, intelligently organised, and admirably illustrated. The chapters in this book progress in a logical order which facilitate easy reading of this broad subject area. Important information is further highlighted by the use of excellently designed diagrams and table. These numerous illustrations help to explain and reinforce important concepts. The extensive knowledge of the author is evident from the foreword of the textbook. This knowledge enables the reader to grasp fundamentally complex concepts by virtue of clear colloquial terms whilst still maintaining the the complexity of the subject under review. Clearly an essential tool for all individuals working within the paramedic field.'
