Summary

The Oxford Textbooks have found their way onto the shelves of clinics,libraries, and hospital departments the world over. They have earned praise fortheir careful integration of basic science and the best of clinical practice,their international focus, and not least their exhaustive coverage.Spring 2000 saw an exciting new development - the publication of our new,eagerly-awaited one-volume textbook of medicine based on the Oxford Textbook ofMedicine. The Concise Oxford Textbook of Medicine retains all the authority ofits parent text, while providing more concise and accessible information on howto manage every condition that a physician is likely to have to diagnose andtreat.Starting with the content of the Oxford Textbook of Medicine, two of theoriginal editors have selected the most essential and practical content, andreorganized and restructured it for ease of use. The authors of the originalOxford Textbook of Medicine articles have updated and rewritten their work tomake it more practically focused, and many new chapters have been commissioned,while up-to-date references and many new illustrations have been addedthroughout.Every chapter of the Concise Oxford Textbook of Medicine has been painstakinglyedited by Professors Ledingham and Warrell - two of the editors of the OxfordTextbook of Medicine - to eliminate repetition and achieve complete consistencyand clarity. No other one-volume textbook of medicine is as international,readable, or accessible, and none has the balance and perspective of the ConciseOxford Textbook of Medicine.
