Description
"At such a modest price this useful introduction can be recommended to all new doctors and hygenists to the specialty." Community Medicine. "This volume, unlike many others in the field, fuses occupational medicine and occupational hygiene into one volume, encompassing an extraordinarily wide range in a pocket-sized volume." Journal of the Institute of Health Education. "This is a great little book and I wholeheartedly recommend it." Health & Safety Society Reviews Bulletin. "The first delight about it is that it measures 7.5" by 4" and is 0.5" thick, so that it fits easily into a pocket or handbag...I recommend this book to all occupational health practitioners. It is not a book for the shelf but one for the pocket or handbag, to be referred to at all times." Nursing Standard. "...has indeed "met a need that has not previously been satisfied." The British Medical Journal.
