Without question, Harrison’s Principles of Internal Medicine features the highest profile board of editors among the competition (both print and online). All are world-class investigator/clinicians. Each editor meticulously edits every chapter and two editors read overlapping chapters. The usual rotation of editors results in Dennis Kasper (the infectious disease editor) as editor-in-chief for this edition. An exception has been made to the retirement policy so that Dr. Braunwald will stay on the project for one last edition. Dr. Braunwald brings to the book tremendous creative energy, wide knowledge of all areas of medicine and incomparable institutional memory. He will also a key player at all the editorial meetings and will help shape the overall direction for this new edition. Dr. Anthony Fauci is one of the most visible medical names in the world through this past work in the AIDS field and current role in the fight against bioterrorism.

This is the "digital edition," which includes the hefty printed volume, access to the "e-supplement," a life-of-print-edition subscription to Harrison's Online, and support for handheld devices. The 15th edition of Harrison's is cited by Brandon/Hill as both an "initial purchase" and as part of a "minimal core collection." New to the 16th edition of this substantial work is a heightened focus on clinical practice, with emphasis given to the approach to the patient, differential diagnosis, treatment options, and disease prevention. Some topics are new or receive expanded treatment, including the immune system and HIV/AIDS, stem cell and gene transfer in clinical medicine, radiation therapy, Clostridium difficile-associated disease, bioterrorism, disease screening, perimenopausal management, hormone replacement therapy, end-of-life care, and a new multi-chapter section on critical care medicine. Of the staggering 379 chapters, 46 are new or by new authors, and the remainder have been revised. The new edition also features color illustration throughout rather than the additional color atlas of earlier editions. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland
