‘Whilst this is an academic reference book … anyone working in these fields and wanting to learn more about these rare conditions or to improve their care and treatment of patients substantially it should be a text of first choice as it includes the latest research and approaches. Students would well benefit from reading as it‘s easy to digest and clearly laid out, pictures and diagrams are relevant, clear and concise. My rating for this book is highly recommended!!!‘
