Principles and Practice of Sleep Medicine

Rating:
Summary: Excellent guide book for sleep specialists
Review: The book was edited by Kryger and Dement et al. They are frontiers of this new field of medical science. It is very regretful thing that most people do not have sufficient information about sleep disorders. Despite of deficiency of knowledge about sleep disorders, those are killing numerous victims all over the world. So I recommend this book to reduce avoidable deaths of precious lives.

Summary: Very good book!
Review: This should be required reading for anyone medical professional working in the field of sleep medicine. Every clinical topic is covered in great detail and clarity. The drawback of this book (if any) is the "Methodology" section, which, for the most part, covers acquisition topics on a very shallow level. Also, don't expect to learn much from the last chapter, "Computers in Sleep Medicine". It covers six pages of nothing (those poor trees). Otherwise this book is 1301 pages of pure gold!
