This board-based practical volume covers the whole of allergy. The text is detailed but was widely praised in reviews of the first edition for its readability. There are a large number of short chapters, accompanied by lots of illustrations and diagrams and supported by summaries and headings. Each chapter is now prefaced by key points. Diagrams will be single or two-colour, photos in colour. This is a clinical book, so theory and pathophysiology are only included to support a clinical insight. The book is written for people who should already have a scientific understanding of their work. Whilst primarily an update of a widely used (over 7,000 sales) and much praised work, this edition is strengthened by co-authorship. Dr Mygind's earlier ENT expertise is enhanced by his retraining as a chest physician. He is joined by Ronald Dahl and Professor Kristian Aarhus, Dr Soren Pedersen, a paediatrician in Kolding and Professor Kristian Thestrup-Pederson, a dermatologist in Aarhus. This will allow broader expert coverage whilst retaining the same successful format.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent introduction to the field of allergology,
By Uffe H. Bodtger (Copenhagen, Denmark) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Essential Allergy (Essential Series) (Paperback)
This book is a fine example of a comprehensive work that gracefully introduces the reader to the basics of clinical allergy. Begining with the immunological background and a description of allergens, and ending with the common atopic disorders of the G-I-tract, skin, eye, nose, lungs, and systemic reactions. Each chapters summarizesthe key points in the following text. The language is strict, and the text is well supported by different types of illustrations (photos, drawings, , diagrams, textboxes etc). I find this book useful in many different contexts: medical students, general practitioners, internal medicine, or other who need a basic introducion to allergology. As a conclusion I can state that these 420 pages gave me more, than 1000 other pages in textbooks and papers did.
