More than two million medical students, doctors and other health professionals from around the globe have owned a copy of Davidsons Principles and Practice of Medicine. Todays readers rely on Davidsons to provide up-to-date detail of contemporary medical practice, presented in a style that is concise, beautifully illustrated and easy to read. Davidsons not only provides all of the factual knowledge required to practice medicine, but also explains it in the context of underlying principles, basic science and research evidence, and shows the reader how to apply their knowledge to manage patients who present with problems rather than specific diseases.
