Reviews

`Everyone with even a remote interest in the field will benefit from and be stimulated by the parts of this book. To read it through will require considerable devotion but will be very rewarding. To dip and browse will be quite fascinating and will stimulate many to return.'
Anesthesia, 38 (1983)
