Brocklehurst’s Textbook of Geriatric Medicine and Gerontology, 7ed

Review

“This book scores highly on all fronts and succinctly covers all the bases. It is not just a textbook of general medicine in the elderly; it specifically looks at areas that uniquely affects the older patient. So step forwards this excellent book which certainly provides a superb insight into the practice of medicine in the elderly population. Although in its 7^th edition, the book is moving with the times, it has three editors, one from the USA, UK and Canada and a wide range of contributors from both sides of the Atlantic.”

Dr Harry Brown February 2011

“The most well-established geriatric medicine and gerontology textbook [is] now in it’s 7^th edition.  The combination of a general gerontology introduction with geriatric medicine remains a successful formula, and the access to the online text is a valuable bonus.”

Desmond O’Neill, Oxford Journals April 2011

** Purpose**

It provides a comprehensive look at aging, the diseases of old age, and the treatment of older persons, with the belief that each of these points of view informs and influences the others. The authors and editors have done a wonderful job in accomplishing these are extremely worthy objectives.

**Audience**

The audience includes both gerontologists and geriatricians, as well as primary care physicians and specialist physicians. Trainees in all these areas will also benefit greatly from this book.

**Assessment**

This book is utterly amazing. It weds gerontology and geriatric medicine unlike any other single textbook. It provides a uniform look at geriatrics that integrates the U.S., Canadian, and U.K. perspectives. It identifies the true nature of geriatrics as the combination of knowing the nature of aging, the normative nature of illness in older persons, and the complexity both of multimorbidity and the simultaneous assessment of the older patient in the medical, psychological and social domains. This book shows the flowering of geriatric medicine into an elegant whole at the beginning of the 21st century.

With the burgeoning growth of older persons throughout the world, the need for a book of this excellent caliber could not be greater. Every student of geriatrics and gerontology should delve deeply into this superlative work.
