5.0 out of 5 stars THE book about pain, September 28, 2000

By	"coste" (Timisoara, Romania) - See all my reviews

The textbook of pain is everything someone needs to start the study of the complex and fascinating phenomenon that is pain. Of course after reading it you will have to read many more scientific papers, to be able to work in pain research, but the book provides the guidelines for your study and helps you select the topic(s) you would like to work on. The book has a very high scientific level given by the authors and editors wich are all respected members of the scientific community. I can only recommend the Textbook of Pain to anyone interested in this field.
