Book Review: ‘Introduction to Regional Anaesthesia’

achieves this aim and would be equally as valuable to candidates for the Australasian Fellowship. The great majority of the authors either work in the United Kingdom or have had extensive experience there. The work therefore reflects many aspects of that school of thought, well leavened with wisdom gained from overseas experience. The whole approach is well suited to the Australasian scene. The two volumes are divided into five sections; the application of scientific principles to clinical practice, general anaesthesia, local anaesthesia, acute and chronic pain and intensive care. The last mentioned would be inadequate in scope for intensive care trainees but provides a good overview of that discipline for trainees in anaesthesia. These books would grace any personal or departmental library. J. G. ROBERTS Department of Anaesthesia & Intensive Care Flinders Medical Centre, SA
