Textbook of Palliative Medicine and Supportive Care

"...the thoroughness of the text has to be admired. It is an excellent starting point for students of palliative care, which makes an important contribution to any library." -British Journal of Hospital Medicine "This is an excellent palliative medicine resource. The special emphasis on global issues makes it unique in the growing market of palliative medicine books. The additional chapters included in the second edition on the different aspects of supportive care are exceptional." -Darrell A. Owens, Doody's, 2015
