Intro
Since this book's first edition in 1965, it quickly established itself as a classic in the field. The Seventh Edition marks the induction of a new editorial staff, as well as some substantial revisions. The changes will build on the book's traditional strengths of clinical focused and a user-friendly approach, and will feature a greater emphasis on the clinical aspects of treating pulmonary disease.
Features:
* Scaled down from a two-volume set to a single volume
* All chapters are evidence-based for an improved clinical focus
* Chapters organized by clinical presentation, differential diagnosis, and treatment (referring to evidence-based medicine).
