Recensione:
This is a substantial, authoritative, multi-author book assembled by a distinguished group of editors. It is remarkably comprehensive, international in scope, and forms a detailed source of scientific information on the impact of tobacco use on health and on public health approaches to the control of tobacco. It should be available in every medical and public health library, and many physicians would value having it in their own possession, both as a readable and interesting book, and also an important work of reference. (Royal College of Physicians Edinburgh)
This book is, and will likely remain for many years to come, the definitive work on tobacco use and its impact upon the world's public health. (Doody's Journal)
. . . the editors must be complemented for having composed a comprehensive and broad-spectrum book on this man-made, health care complex issue of unimaginable size, which is, fortunately, receiving more and more public awareness. The book is mandatory reading for everyone engaged in the combat of this health catastrophe. (Annals of Oncology)
. . . should be compulsory reading for all involved in the control of chronic diseases and more specifically in the control of tobacco. (Bulletin of the World Health Organisation)
As we drown in information, such books can be liferafts of sanity. Aggregators and distillers of information at the peak of their fields do us all a service, as do those who have the patience to compile convenient collections like this one. (British Medical Journal)
