Description
Essential Allergy provides a good introduction to and reference on the subject for medical students and general physicians. The book deals with both allergic and allergy-like diseases, which are described from a multi-factorial, organ-related point of view, the emphasis throughout being placed on optimum patient care. The clear presentation of facts and wealth of illustrations make the text easy to follow and the book will appeal to a wide range of readers with dissimilar knowledge of allergic diseases. The Lancet said It is readable, reliable, practical, and profusely illustrated ...We should therefore welcome this excellent volume, which will help to close the educational gap.' Reference.
