Reviewed by Jonn Terje Geitung on behalf of Journal of Acta Radiologica, April 2015 My lasting impression of this book was the very same as the first time I opened these two lavish volumes and that was - wow! This two volume set is a spectacular and seemingly comprehensive review of rheumatology. Now in its sixth edition, it is a huge production with a large number of contributors from numerous countries all over the world. It is expertly edited and seamlessly put together. There is plenty of good basic and interesting yet relevant science here as well as a seemingly comprehensive review of the clinical aspects of rheumatology. I would suspect this is the nearest you would get to an encyclopaedia of rheumatology. Reviewed by Dr. Harry Brown, on behalf of glycosmedia.com, December 2014
