KELLEYS IS A TEXTBOOK FOR THE PRACTICING PHYSICIAN. FAMILY PRACTITIONERS AND HOSPITALISTS BENEFIT MOST. PERHAPS THE NAME SHOULD BE CHANGED TO INTERNAL MEDICINE FOR FAMILY PRACTITIONERS AND HOSPITALISTS.I WOULD APPEAL TO OTHER PUBLISHERS TO BRING OUT A NEW EDITION OF THIS MOST EXELLENT AND HELPFUL TEXT.

The most practical textbook in internal medicine
I have been using this book for many years. No new edition will ever come out. Dr. Humes, the chief editor, of this textbook in the reply to my email by one of his coworkers, he stated that " Dr. David Humes asked that I respond for him to your email of 5/8. He regrets to report that Kelley Textbook publisher, Lippincott Williams & WIlkins, is no longer publishing General Medicine textbooks and that he is unaware of any plans to publish a new edition of the Textbook. Dr. Humes appreciates, however, your kind and favorable comments regarding the Textbook.."

So no more new edition of Kelley's textbook of internal medicine in the market. What a great disppointment!!!!

By far the best volume of clinical medicine
I whole-heartedly agree with other reviewers. This book is a treasure in the midst of competing texts that simply do not offer the quality of Kelley's textbook.

This book does what others simply fail to do. Provide comprehensive, *practical*, and evidence-based medical management guidelines. Whereas most standard texts may provide such information about disease entities, Kelley's also recognises that patients most often present with diagnostic problems (such as hematuria or tremors) and thus devotes much attention to these. Each of these presentations is examined in terms of differentials (not just a list - you are given perspective and told what to look for in different subpopulations that present with the same complaint), then workup, treatment options, and followup considerations are explored. Facts aren't simply printed for the purpose of memorization (as is often the case in other texts); they are contextualized and presented in a manner that is useful to your goal of providing thorough and effective management options to your patients. I would also recommend this texts to medical students, as it is far easier to absorb information that is clinically and practically relevant rather than memorize those lists and flow diagrams (which at first glance may look concise and easy to study, but in the long term are actually difficult to remember).

KELLEY'S IS THE CURRENT PACESETTER
Although relatively new in the game, (when compared to veterans like the Cecil's and the Harrison's), Kelley's Textbook of Internal Medicine is in a class of its own. This 3,200 pages of sound medical gospel is an all-round platinum winner.
It is a pacesetter in outlook: covering all branches of medicine in a veridicous way that is worthy of emulation.
If the current pace established by the 4th edition is sustained in the future, Kelley's will completely douse competition from both the Cecil's and the Harrison's texts.
It is hard to find flaws in this book; and I believe that many people would like to see what its CD-ROM version will look like.

Excellent reference text for practicing docs
An excellent reference text for the practicing primary care physicians. Concise, gives necessary info without a lot of minuta.Great bargain for the price. I trained using Cecil's and I feel this is as good for less money. ... Read more

An Excellent Biography of Victor Herbert
Edward Waters worked for years researching the life of Victor Herbert(1859-1924)and wrote a thorough and beautifully written biography of one of America's greatest composers (and one who needs to be better remembered today).This work covers Victor Herbert's life as a child in Ireland and a young musician in Germany, his marriage to Therese Forester (a young singer at the Vienna Opera), their move to the United States in 1886, his early years as a cello solist and leader of Gilmore's Band, and his six years as the conductor of the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra and composer of classical and march music.Most of the book concentrates on the many years he worked as a composer of music for the 41 operettas and Broadway shows and the two operas for which he is best remembered.This biography is the best record of Herbert's life and should be read by anyone with an interest in Victor Herbert or Broadway shows and comic opera during the 1894-1924 period. ...
