This highly regarded textbook of medicine has gone from strength to strength since it first published in 1987. This new fourth edition builds on and enhances the book's reputation and popularity with undergraduate and postgraduate medical students, practising doctors and students in allied health professions. The achievement of 'Kumar and Clark' is that it provides a detailed but comprehensible text that bridges the gap between purely introductory texts and larger reference works. Each chapter links scientific advances with clinical practice so that the management of disease is based on sound physiological concepts. Written by a strong multiauthor team however due to the meticulous editing of Parveen Kumar and Mike Clark, the style is consistent, lucid and succinct. 'Kumar and Clark' has always led the way with new features and innovations in presentation. Lively and informative boxes for emergency treatments and practical procedures were introduced in the third edition, and these have been carried forward and improved for this edition
