Clinical Medicine by P.Kumar and M.Clark

This title is truly legendary. It is regarded by many as the 'must have' medicine textbook.

Now in it's eighth edition in 15 years, which is a remarkable achievement, it has progressed enormously since its first edition of 1987. "Clarity of writing, a hallmark of Kumar and Clark, has been combined with a colourful and attractive presentation and a companion website to produce a complete resource of medical information."

The changing cover design reflects the inner transformation throughout the years.

The second edition below, published in 1990, had a very plain and unremarkable design. The 5th edition was the first to offer additional online content in 2002.
