Reviews

...an outstanding book, written by a surgeon with renowned experience... excellent quality colour photographs... covers a broad variety of topics... provides a scientific knowledge base alongside a practical approach to looking after burns patients, including useful tips and advice... considers the difficulties inherent in providing burns care in resource-challenged settings... extremely useful and fascinating to read... would contribute admirably to the training and reference collections of health-care staff working in emergency departments, multidisciplinary burns team (including plastic surgical trainees), and students... wholeheartedly recommended. -- Kana Miyagi British Journal of Hospital Medicine 20121101
