Purpose:This impressive book brings together contributions from a variety of prominent sleep clinicians and scientists to provide an in-depth presentation of sleep physiology and pathophysiology well augmented with informative illustrations as well as video clips on a companion web site.
Audience:The audience includes sleep clinicians or researchers who will certainly get a comprehensive grasp of sleep medicine from this book. It will serve as a good resource for those who are new to the field or wishing to review for certification in the field. The book also can be helpful for clinicians not at all familiar with sleep medicine with its easy-to-read format and ample illustrations. The author and the majority of the contributors are leading authorities in the field of sleep medicine.
Features:The initial chapters deal with sleep in art and literature and the history of sleep medicine. This harks back, as Dr. Roth states in the foreword, to the beginnings of sleep in the world of art rather than in the world of science. Subsequent chapters deal with sleep physiology and biology, normal sleep, pharmacology, dreaming, and diagnostic approaches to the patient. Chapters are devoted to the whole spectrum of sleep disorders from insomnia, circadian rhythm disorders, neurologic disorders, sleep breathing disorders, parasomnias to cardiovascular and other disorders, psychiatric disorders, and women's health. The final chapters include a wealth of illustrations of polysomnogram records and, on the companion web site, a gallery of patient interview videos and sleep laboratory video findings. Each chapter ends in a list of selected readings and the book ends with a helpful index.
Assessment:This book is a quite a significant contribution to the field of sleep medicine. It is one of the first of its kind to bring together a variety of multimedia illustrations from photographs, slides, polysomnogram excerpts, patient videos, and sleep study videos. This is an important book for the libraries of sleep clinicians or scientists with an interest in sleep medicine.
