This new edition of Brocklehurst's Textbook of Geriatric Medicine and Gerontology builds on the structure and content of previous editions.

Product Description
Review
"Brocklehurst's is an attractive work, full of figures and pictures,& there is a nice mix of European and North American authors.An innovation since the 5th edition-one that aids readability-is the addition of summary boxes to each chapter, listing the key points of that chapter...a comprehensive overview and foundation, and I believe they have succeeded admirably.This text is useful for trainees, libraries and those healthcare professionals who need either an introduction or a refresher to geriatric medicine."(Geriatrics & Aging)

Accessible and Detailed
14 Aug 2011
By Douglas E. Wong
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover
Extremely well-written and even throughout, this text is both accessible and detailed. It's not often I actually enjoy reading a textbook, and frankly I've got no special interest in geriatrics over other medical fields of study, but I do enjoy reading this.
It is priced more than most of its competitors, which is disappointing because it probably limits its dissemination. Currents is less than a third of the cost of this thing! And heck, up until recently Merck's Geriatrics manual was free online at their website.
But it's definitely a quality text, there's really no denying that.

Otimo livro para geriatras, clinicos e gerontologos

Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
Livro com dezenas de capitulos abordando a senescencia. Muito bom e agradavel de se ler. Ótimo para se estudar. Os autores abordam temas nao avaliados em outros livros da mesma categoria. Por exemplo, um capitulo aborda e compara a sindrome de hutchinson gilford (progeria) com o envelhecimento normal - muito bom. Tem um total de 128 capitulos em 1071 paginas. Referencias on line. Recomendo.
