Surgery At a Glance by Grace & Borley
Three major strengths of this book: 1:Excellent diagrams- present key points in very memorable and manageable form. 2:Disease descriptions are crystal clear, so there's no chance of you getting confused between different diseases. 3:Right amount of emphasis on symptoms, tests and diagnosis, very handy when preparing for surgery rotation.

Overall very readable. Works both as an introductory text and a revision aid. Fills you in on stuff you might have missed in lectures. Once you get used to sifting around the short chapters, you will learn a great deal from it. Wide array of subjects covered with imaginative use of tables and box diagrams. Authors know which topics are more difficult to understand and they take care in explaining them effectively. For example, in the section on surgical infection where there is a lot of detail to take in. Authoritative instructions given in brief but helpful summaries at end of each chapter.

Review
"For pre-clinical students it is a perfect accompaniment to lectures as it reinforces understanding. For clinical students each chapter begins with a clinical scenario which allows the individual to understand the problem in a clinical setting and therefore understand the physiology behind the condition." GKT Gazette

"This is a handy guide for undergraduate medical students revising for examinations, or even for learning basic concepts...at an affordable price, students should find it a useful addition to their bookshelves." Diabetic Medicine, January 2007



"I would recommend this book, because it explains things so clearly and simply. There is no section I have read that I don’t understand upon reading. The same topics I have struggled with when studying from other books would now be easier to understand having read material that helps me grasp the concepts as more of a whole." 3rd year Medical Student, Nottingham University

"...This is an excellent text for medical or science students taking courses in endocrinology"
Aslib Book Guide

"...The book would be a good basic orientation for the clinical student, and would, I think, find a useful place amongst the literature of undergraduate biochemists and lift scientists"
Oxford Medical School Gazette

"...At first sight, I really thought that Endocrinology was going to be a doddle. With only 10 lectures in the course, how much information could there be to learn. The answer, quite simply is that there is a lot to know, and as I detest long Medical Textbooks, this is the answer. You relied on Pharmacology at a Glance, now you can do the same for your endocrinology. When a good picture tells the story, why do you need a huge monologue to bore you? Try this, you'll like it!"
Scope Magazine
