Hunter's Diseases of Occupations has remained the pre-eminent
text on diseases caused by work, universally recognized as the
most authoritative source of information in the field. It is an
important guide for doctors in all disciplines who may encounter
occupational diseases in their practice, covering topics as diverse as
work and stress, asbsetos-related disease, working at high altitude
and major chemical incidents, many of which are highly topical.
presenting all practitioners considering an occupational cause for a
patient's condition with comprehensive coverage of work-related
diseases as they present in modern and developing industralised
societies. It draws on the wide-ranging and in-depth clinical
knowledge and experience, and acadmic excellence, of top experts
in the field.
