Kumar and Clark's Clinical Medicine has been praised over the years for the breadth and depth of its content and the clarity of its style and presentation, and this 6th edition carries on that tradition of excellence. Throughout, the aim is to show the importance of the underpinning sciences in the understanding of clinical medicine and to explain clearly and in a consistent style the epidemiology, examination, differential diagnosis, investigations and management of disease. Presentation of information is a key feature in the success of the book, with the subject matter being divided up by means of headings and subheadings, tables and a variety of text boxes. The 6th edition will also offer an on-line version of the book to all purchasers, building on the success of this innovation, introduced with the 5th edition. In addition, the presentation of the book - consistently praised over the years - will be enhanced with entirely new line artwork throughout.Comprehensive, one-volume textbook of medicine Explains clinical medicine with reference to underpinning basic sciences Well illustrated with clinical photographs and line drawings New chapter on Ophthalmology and ENT Completely new artwork programme for this edition - modern and dynamic in approach Supported by related texts, include Ballinger: Pocket Essentials; Baliga: Self-Assessment and Smith: Pass Finals New accompanying text to be written by Kumar & Clark - Handbook of Medical Therapeutics - supplying the need for more detailed information about management and treatment On-line version to be available again for free to all purchasers of the book International Panel of Advisers to be added for the 6th edition - to build on the success and strength of the book in markets outside the UK and Europe All line drawings totally redrawn in new, more modern style New chapter on Ophthalmology and ENT More specific information on current guidelines and management International Panel of advisers added for this edition
