Book SynopsisA unique resource on sleep medicine Written by contemporary experts from around the world, Sleep: A Comprehensive Handbook covers the entire field of sleep medicine. Taking a novel approach, the text features both syndrome- and patient-oriented coverage, making it ideally suited for both clinical use and academic study.Trade Review"This complete and practical reference guide…is essential reading for those interested in sleep medicine." (E-STREAMS, September 2007) “The book is easy to read and the style from chapter to chapter is remarkably consistent, which is a very difficult feat, considering that 215 authors contributed to this book’s 1,058 pages.” (Respiratory Care, June 2007) "The text stands alone as an insightful and comprehensive 'encyclopedia' detailing the phenomenon of sleep." (The Journal of the American Medical Association, April 18, 2007) "I highly recommend this book to the clinicians and medical students who would like to sleep well, knowing that they have done everything possible to make their patients' sleep restful and healthy." (New England Journal of Medicine, January 11, 2007) "...no other publication in the field can begin to compare with the breadth or depth of the 'Handbook'...I cannot imagine a functioning sleep disorders clinic without at least one copy on standby as a ready reference." (PscyCRITIQUES, July 19, 2006) "Sleep: A Comprehensive Handbook is a first-rate textbook with concise, up-to-date information covering a wide range of subjects pertinent to the practice of sleep medicine."
