Book Description

Publication Date: February 15, 2000 | ISBN-10: 0340677503 | ISBN-13: 978-0340677506 | Edition: 9

Hunter's Disease of Occupations is the leading book about diseases caused by occupations, and about the assessment, management, and treatment of the individual patient. The book is for clinicians dealing with specific patients, as well as for occupational physicians and other occupational health professionals. This new edition continues this objective but also includes environmental diseases that arise from industrial or agricultural activity; therefore the book will also be of value to public health and environmental health physicians. The text is comprehensive, and continues to include the traditional disorders but now it also incorporates new areas of concern such as disorders connected with highly technological industries, and the effects of pesticides and other chemicals in the environment.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"This book is a British work poised to invade the US market for general textbooks in occupational medicine. The scope of information presented is very acceptable for the novice, who may wish to read an entire chapter, or to the informed reader, who can easily find the subject heading of specific interest. This series has served as the fortress for those fighting occupational diseases in other parts of the world." - James W. Allen, MD, JAMA, October 18, 2000, Vol 284, No. 15
