Editorial Reviews

Reviewer: Belinda Setters, MD, MS, FACP, AGSF (Robley Rex VA Medical Center)
Description: This book provides an overview of the field of geriatric medicine. It is a comprehensive text that delves into everything from generalized assessment of the older adult patient, caregiving issues, geriatric syndromes such as delirium and dementia, as well as care areas such as hospital care and the intersection of technology and aging. In addition, it focuses on common diseases such as heart disease, diabetes, and chronic lung disease. The third edition is appreciated as it includes more up-to-date information as well as topics such as LGBTQ care and technology.
Purpose: The purpose is to provide a comprehensive overview of geriatric medicine in a slightly more compact and affordable format. It addresses all the necessary topics in a paperback format that is more portable than most larger texts on the subject. The book provides this comprehensive overview nicely, meeting its stated objectives.
Audience: The audience includes medical students and residents, practicing clinicians (especially internal medicine and family practice physicians), and other care providers such as physician assistants and nurse practitioners. It may be slightly less appropriate for geriatric medicine fellows who likely need more detailed discussions on many of the topics in order to prepare for a specialized career path. It is well written and appropriate for its intended audience. The authors have exceptional credentials and are considered top leaders in the field. It is a welcome addition to geriatrics texts.
Features: This is a wonderful book. The topic selections, the chapter layouts, the amount of detail, references, and discussions are all wonderful. The authors are top notch and the expanse of the topics covered is appropriate. This book has but a few shortcomings, all of which are a result of the publisher's desire to make it more portable and affordable, which are noble endeavors. The first is that the book is printed in only variations of two colors - blue and black on white paper. This provides less definition within and between chapters. The second is that the chapters are closely packed in an effort to save space. And the last is the book's minimal illustrations, of which I would have liked to see more. Again, these are easily understandable tradeoffs to make the text affordable and portable especially for learners, so this will be acceptable for most readers.
Assessment: This is a well-edited, well-written book that provides a wonderfully comprehensive overview of the field of geriatrics. The authors are exceptional and the book is highly evidence based with appropriate references. It is an excellent addition to any medical library and should be highly recommended for medical learners and practicing clinicians. The third edition is not only warranted, but is very much welcomed and needed. It is a great addition to the field of geriatric medicine.
