Description
The latest 20th Edition of Davidson's Principles & Practice of Medicine won the award for a New Edition of an Edited Textbook at the Royal
Society of Medicine and Society of Authors 2007 Medical Book Awards. The award citation described the book as "Beautifully constructed
with superb clarity of style - Davidson's continues to provide for students, doctors and other health professionals a sound basis for
the practice of medicine."
This internationally famous and best-selling textbook of general (or internal) medicine is renowned for
providing a rational and easily understood basis for the practice of clinical medicine. Since it was first published this comprehensive
text has met the requirements of several generations of medical students preparing for their examinations, while serving as a valuable
reference for doctors in training. Rather than page after page of dense text, this reference makes finding information a snap by featuring
lavish, colorful visual information. Extensive tables, crib boxes, MRI images, and x-ray films accompany each chapter's succinct discussions.
The book's clear organization and color-coded chapters make it simple to find just the information you need, when you need it.
