Editorial Reviews

"The text is straight to the point, concise, informative and educational which also helps to improve patient care. Yet it is surprisingly comprehensive for this size of book and a lot of common and less common situations are covered in significant depth. This is achieved in part, because every word counts and the text is straight to the point. Exactly what many people want." — Dr Harry Brown, Glycosmedia
