From the reviews:
“The definitive resource for anesthesiologists and critical care physicians who provide perioperative care for the patient with liver disease.” (Ravindea Alok Gupta, Anesthesiology, Vol. 121 (1), July, 2014)

It should serve as the major reference on liver transplantation for fellows training in liver transplant anesthesia or in critical care. … It should also be available in every major medical library as a resource for anyone with an interest in any aspect of this field.” (Michael F. O’Connor, Doody's Book Reviews, April, 2013)
