Description
This is a comprehensive review of orthopaedic oncology that is multi-disciplinary, integrative and practical. Each class of tumor is dealt with in detail, with case presentations illustrating how they would be diagnosed and managed in a clinical setting. This book provides an expert approach to orthopaedic oncology patient care for trainees and residents in orthopaedics, pathology and radiology.
Reviews
Alot of the complaints in the reviews about this book are that “It is too slow”, and “It is too difficult to read.” Guess what! This is not The Hunger Games or The Twilight Series. This is actual literature from over 100 years ago. Yes it takes work to get through the dialogue. It is not exactly a page turner in that regard. But if you can be patient, and “get into the groove’ of the dialect, then you will soon be able to read through the conversation with less effort. It is rewarding! Of course, I am reading this as an adult, and because I chose to do so, and not for a homework assignment. I am glad I took the time to do so, because this to me is what literature is all about. It’s rewarding – not just a book you cruise through in two days, and then give it to your 10 year old who also reads it in two days. There is a lot of social commentary, as well as commentary about the inherent decency of man, and what we do to screw up our kids along the way. Critics are correct, this is not a children’s book. It just happens to be about a child. Mark Twain was a masterful writer. I hope you take the time to work through this book. Also, the Dover Thrift version does not appear to be censored – as some of the other books are purported to be.
