As in previous editions, the organization is guided by the way in which the various disorders present to practitioners. For this edition, Spiro has enlisted the aid of colleagues to write about half the text. Among the many new areas, the sections on physiology, previously limited, have been expanded and modernized. Profusely illustrated in b&w throughout, with a 31-page section of state-of-the-art color plates. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.
