Anyone who has ever clutched a copy of an Oxford Handbook will immediately recognise this new publication from the Oxford University Press. The family DNA is there for all to see, from its pocket size to the durable plastic cover; from the indexing to the built in bookmarks...its bigest virtue is the fact that everything is written as bullet points or short concise paragraphs. And in true Oxford Handbook fashion, each pair of adjoining pages covers one topic and one topic only. This allows very thorough indexing, so finding what information you want is quick and easy. The quality of the information is also very comprehensive and virtually all topics are covered. * Dr Munmohan Virdee, Book Reviews * Review from previous edition ...designed for electrophysiologists, but will reach a wider readership as it informs beyond guiding the specialist...buy it, enjoy it and be guided well by it. * British Journal of Hospital Medicine *
