This book is exceptionally well produced, with a very high-quality look and feel. It is a physical pleasure to handle, and the format, fonts, layout, and use of figures make it easy to read. The series sets out to present a picture of current practice and relevant evidence across a diverse range of practice in several chapters, and it generally achieves this.

Some topics are very biased to North American readers but may be of interest to others. The length of the chapters feels about right for a readership that can be assumed to be familiar with the topic but would like to refresh their knowledge and understanding and see some of the newer references. The range of topics is wide (e.g. from left ventricular assist to obstetric anaesthesia), with no obvious links between them.
