Really Good Reference:
Book is outstanding reference. Has well developed bibliography for further reading. Outstanding for go-to text for citations in workers compensation cases or other work in occupational and environmental medicine.
A standard in Occup & Envir Med:
The most clinical and diagnostic of the major works in Occupational & Environmental Medicine. The text includes all the usual (and necessary) approaches to cover this topic: - disease by organ system - disease by chemical / physical cause - disease by industry / business sector
Includes necessary components on ethics and advocacy. Not as program-focussed as other works which seem designed to support medical directors more than diagnostic clinicians.
