This is an expertly informed text that remains authoritative and detailed. Seeing all these chapter titles in print also illustrates how broad palliative care is, providing a useful reminder of how many different areas and topics are part of its practice . . . Those new to the book will find what the editors hope to have created: an authoritative reference text with a global perspective on the field.
Guy Schofield, Clinical Research Fellow, Imperial College, London; in the European Journal of Palliative Care, Vol 23, No. 1 (2016)
Updated, well organised, and the coverage is good [...] I think it remains the best book on palliative medicine on the market.
