Reviews

"...chapters all begin with a section that succinctly states the goal, key points, and key references. Authors are recognized experts in inflammatory bowel disease. The text is supported by clear, easy-to-read tabular information, and high-quality illustrations, 530 illustrations in total. The updated formatting with tabs for each section and larger section heads make this edition more "user friendly"; I found it easy to sit down and read an entire section. The extensive bibliographies for each chapter also make this a useful text for researching specific topics in inflammatory bowel disease.
...a well-written, well-formatted text that should be part of the library of both gastroenterologists and surgeons with an interest in inflammatory bowel disease."Gastroenterology, October 2004
authors of this book constitute a global who's who of 'IBD-ology'... Authoritative without being stuffy, comprehensive without being intimidating, exhaustive without being esoteric... The pages contain diagrams of the immune system that do not induce nystagmus or vertigo, and diagnostic algorithms that actually apply to the real world. " David Sachar, March 2003
subject is overlooked, from basic pathophysiology to evidence-based therapies, from nitric oxide metabolism to nutrition... Consume this monograph from cover to cover like an epic, or nibble tidbits from it whenever need or hunger arises. Either way, you are in for a treat." David Sachar, March 2003
authors constitute a global "Who's Who" of "IBD-ology"..the worlds leaders in clinical and laboratory investigation...On very few occasions while evaluating a textbook has the reviewer been so rapidly and totally impressed by the quality of the contributions, the sharp insight of the authors into each topic and the pleasure and ease with which the reader gets through all the pages...A "must" for any gastroenterologists with an interest in IBD." G. Bianchi Porro, Digestive and Liver Disease, August 2004
recommend this book as an effective introduction to IBD for the trainee and as an accessible reference text for the practicing senior physician."Practical Gastroenterology, May 2004
