Samuel J. Pearlman

Textbook of Otolaryngology

This first edition is intended primarily for medical students and practitioners but may be read with pleasure and profit by others more advanced in the specialty. It is clear, concise, authoritative, up-to-date, and stylistically unique. Unlike the conventional textbook, it is not encumbered with combinations of the outworn, the new, or the bow to tradition. These authors have opinions and they make them known. There is no need to discuss the various chapters, as they are more than adequate, and the illustrations are excellent. Works reflecting strong personalities, such as this, are rare. It is a distinct pleasure to recommend it.
