Critical Care Nursing of the Surgical Patient promises little and lives up to its promise. It's difficult for me to understand why, apparently, we need more books of this sort. I am always impressed by the amount of effort that goes into the writing, editing, referencing, indexing and production. I can forgive the ; failure to make any attempt to adapt the book for the British reader. More difficult to forget, as I read, is the gradually failing vision of the editors.
