چکیده

Tiiis book is divided into two parts. The first part (leals wvith the anatomy of the region, where necessary in some detail, for, as the authors rightly point out in the preface, success depends in large measure on the knowledge of the relevant anatomy. The second half of the book showvs howv this knowledge may be used to produce analgesia for practically every operation on the head and neck. Surprisingly, the thyroid is not mentioned. Both the anatomy and technique of nerveblocking are beautifully illustrated by frequent line-drawings and coloured pictures of a standard such as one has come to expect from the Nuffield Department of Anaesthesia. The pictorial method of teaching is borne out by the fact that the 134 pages of text contain 145 illustrations. The descriptions of the techniques are simple and unambiguous. This book will prove a boon to candidates for the F.F.A. examination, and will be an excellent reference book for those who only practise local analgesia on rare occasions. The book is well produced and bound. The glossy paper may be essential for the illustrations, but it makes reading, especially in artificial light, more trying than a matt finish. W. M. B.
