Russell, Hull, UK in British Journal of Anaesthesia "I personally gained a much better understanding of the factors which influence the spread of local anaesthetics within the epidural space after having read his book."—LAH Critchley, Anaesthesia and Intensive Care“… adds a new dimension of understanding through the visual medium as there are few tomes available to practitioners and researchers alike.”—Arpita D. Badami, MD and Brian M. Ilfeld, MD, MS in www.anesthesia-analgesia.org
