Short, punchy chapters make this an ideal book to read on the run, with a clear, intelligent discussion specifically aimed at the non-technical audience. It is overflowing with practical advice, backed up by examples, evidence and logical argument. I predict that it will dramatically boost the use of handhelds amongst medical students and doctors." |
