For the last 25 years, the Textbook of Diabetes has been one of our key copyrights, with a reputation in the market as the most clinically-focused diabetes reference book. Whereas others like our own IDTM and Lippincott’s Joslin’s Diabetes focus on the basic science of diabetes and are aimed mainly at researchers/scientists, Textbook of Diabetes is aimed at the clinical market, ie, diabetologists and endocrinologists responsible for, and managing patients suffering from diabetes.
As well is its high clinical focus, its popularity has been due to its visual look and high production standards. Clear and easy-to-navigate, it’s packed full of key points in every chapter, and has a well-designed and full colour interior throughout. To support the text, over 500 figures, including 300 beautifully drawn colour diagrams provide the reader with a visual element unmatched in other diabetes textbooks.
The 5th edition will once again be led by Richard Holt, one of Europe’s leading diabetologists. With co-editors from Europe, US and Asia, they will again recruit leading international figures in diabetes as chapter authors.
New to this edition will be:
- 6 brand new chapters:
-
- Ischaemic Heart Disease
- Glucagon in Islet Regulation
- Microbiome and Diabetes
- Diabetes and Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease
- Diabetes and Cancer
- End of Life Care in Diabetes
- A restructured TOC including a 3-chapter section entitled Psychosocial aspects of diabetes
- 21 new chapter authors – the very latest and brightest new talent in the field, replacing those who are no longer clinically active
- All references will now be 100% online (ie, not in the print book) and with direct links to PubMed – saving approx. 200 print pages.
In addition, all existing chapters will be fully revised with the very latest developments, including the most recent guidelines from the ADA, EASD, DUK and NICE. Via the companion website, readers will have access to a host of additional online materials such as:
- 200 interactive MCQ's to allow readers to self-assess their clinical knowledge
- all 500 figures from the book, available to download into presentations
- fully searchable chapter pdfs
- online chapter references with full links to PubMed
Once again,
Textbook of Diabetes will head up our diabetes list and provide endocrinologists and diabetologists managing their patients with a modern, comprehensive and multi-media clinical resource to consult time and time again.
