An update to the 2004 edition, this massive, single-volume work--a duplicate of the less unwieldy, albeit more costly two-volume set--is broken into 392 chapters comprising entries by more than 620 medical professionals. Entries average several pages in length and include diagrams, case photographs, and quick-reference charts. In addition to entries on pathogenesis, Fauci (Harrison's Rheumatology) and a cadre of other expert editors offer segments engaging issues of medical education, global concerns, and clinical practice. Highlights include 800 new full-color illustrations and an accompanying DVD--with 90 video clips, an expansive image bank, and 39 additional subject chapters. Highly recommended.
