Handbook of Local Anesthesia, 5th Edition

摘要

With the advent of the miracles of the digital age, newer editions of old favorites seem to appear almost monthly, and many of them are just higher priced versions of the original with a few expanded chapters but add little real value for the reader. We purchase them just to “keep up.” The following reviews of 2 new editions prove that there are exceptions to every rule, and much can be gained by the evolution of a text by authors who are dedicated in taking their contributions to the next level. This passion to update, refine, and rediscover is a credit to the authors and a gift to the student in all of us.
