This book has been a saviour especially at this time when I needed a host of resources for my dissertation. It opened my eyes to a variety of sources I didn′t know exist. I would recommend this book to anyone who needs to find material for university course work. -- Edward Azumatse * Journal of Perioperative Practice *
