Book description
Winner of the First Prize in ENT at the 2006 BMA (British Medical
Association) Medical Book CompetitionThis is a remarkable introduction
to the complex world of otorhinolaryngology, in full color!This
beautifully conceived book makes learning ENT almost simple, with its
excellent drawings and photographs of the anatomy, physiology, and
pathology of this region. Throughout the book connections are made to
internal medicine, pediatrics, and surgery. A highly structured text,
using boxed information and tables, provides a quick overview of the
subject. This is a highly effective introduction to ENT for senior
medical students and interns. "This excellent book does seem to
edge closer than most to [the] Holy Grail; it makes use of fantastic
illustrations, clarifying via simple diagrams many concepts.. Operative,
embryological and anatomical diagrams, explanatory line diagrams beside
scans, and pictorial representations of investigation results are all
used to great effect, combining both clarity and relevance. This is a
textbook that all students and trainees will find useful, that senior
house officers and more junior registrars will appreciate for the pure
knowledge, and that all those with exams, at all levels, will find an
excellent aid to help structure their answers. ..It would provide an
excellent resource for all ENT surgeons in helping to further structure
topics for teaching sessions."--Journal of Laryngology &
Otology_x000D_ _x000D_ "This well-written and concise textbook
provides a comprehensive introduction to the fundamentals of basic
otolaryngology and head and neck surgery and includes the latest
developments to date. This textbook is nicely organized into 4 main
chapters based on anatomical location. Unique features of this book are
the convenient brief study units which are embedded within each
sub-chapter. ...Each study unit is presented in a clear and concise
manner richly illustrated with high-resolution color images, detailed
drawings, tables, graphs, and flow charts. Additionally, there is
attention to symbols to represent points of emphasis and boxed texts to
provide information that goes beyond basic understanding, including
operating techniques, case study reports, and historical information.
...The form and content of the book place it in the category of an
excellent textbook for medical students and beginning residents. [The
authors] offer a highly effective, affordably priced introductory
textbook of otolaryngology for aspiring medical students and
residents."--The Laryngoscope Professor and Clinic Director,
