Reviews
"This is an excellent handbook and reference guide. Its comprehensive review of sports medicine with a focus on quickly accessible, usable information is rare in this field. Just as Harrison's Manual of Medicine, 16th edition, is in every medicine resident's white coat, this handbook should be in every sports medicine fellow's medical kit."--Doody's
