Editorial Reviews

From The Critics
Reviewer: Howard M. Kravitz, DO, MPH(Rush University Medical Center)
Description: This is an updated and expanded edition of a major textbook of sleep medicine, first published in 1989. Its 16 sections comprise two major parts, normal sleep and abnormal sleep (i.e., disorders of sleep).
Purpose: The purpose of this new edition is to provide a text that reflects changes that have occurred in the knowledge base in sleep medicine and related developments in diagnostic and therapeutic practices. This worthy objective was not uniformly met; a number of chapters provided minimal evidence of real substantive change.
Audience: The primary audience is any medical specialist who has an interest in sleep disorders. The first part of the book reviews normal sleep and covers the basic science of sleep for the clinician whose medical education was deficient in these areas or whose past knowledge has become outdated. The second part covers diagnostic and therapeutic aspects of sleep problems that clinicians are likely to see regardless of their specialty. Though the book is aimed at and written by specialists (a veritable who's who in sleep medicine), the material definitely is accessible to primary care physicians.
Features: This is a very readable and well-illustrated text. The print quality of the figure legends is improved from the first edition. Chapter references indicate inconsistent updating; some chapters show comparatively few references from the l990s, and others have been extensively revised and expanded. Notable updates include new chapters on dental appliances for snoring and sleep apnea (excellent quality photos and tables), epidemiology, the new classification system, and a new section on psychiatric disorders; pediatric sleep disorders will be covered in a companion volume.
Assessment: This updated book remains an excellent reference source as well as a primary text. Its major audience will be sleep medicine specialists. Its cost may be a deterrent. Libraries should definitely carry it as a reference volume, and bookstores should carry it.

This edition is updated and expanded (previous editions were published in 1989 and 1994). Although the format, which consists of two major sections, Normal Sleep and Abnormal Sleep, has not changed, some chapters are artfully re-organized. Also, new chapters and contributors have been added. The most comprehensive and state-of-the-art information is presented in this enhanced and enriched updated edition. The purpose is to summarize data and ideas that have been previously published in single publications or specialized textbooks, and enable readers to learn about the basic science of sleep, such as comparative physiology of sleep, physiology and pharmacology of sleep mechanisms, chronobiology etc., as well as the clinical practice of sleep medicine such as recognition, diagnosis, and management of various sleep disorders. This is a reference for the wide spectrum of professionals practicing sleep medicine (neurologists, psychiatrists, psychologists, otorhinolaryngologists, pulmonologists, pediatricians, general practitioners, etc.) as well as neuroscientists and others with an interest in sleep medicine and/or sleep research. This edition differs significantly from the first and second editions. There is an increased number of chapters, introduction of new topics, and new contributors. This dramatic change is a reflection of substantial progress in the field of sleep medicine. The best feature of the book is comprehensive coverage of a particular topic, which is evidence-based, up-to-date, and provided by experts in particular fields. An additional and unique feature is an appendix on Sleep Medicine on the World Wide Web. This third edition represents a superb synthesis of thebasic science and clinical sleep medicine. It is well organized into two major sections in which the topics of scientific and clinical significance are addressed. The editors lead this major endeavor extremely successfully. They contribute significantly to the quality of the book by guiding organization of the sections, chapters, and the style of presentation of different materials, which results in the homogeneity of the chapters written by different authors. This book is a reflection of the growth of the field of sleep medicine. It is the best and the most comprehensive reference book in the field and will continue to be an invaluable source of information and inspiration for diverse medical professionals from a medical student to a sleep specialist.
