IAHPC Book Reviews
By Dr. Roger Woodruff, IAHPC Reviews Editor
Dr. Roger Woodruff, our IAHPC Book Reviews Editor, is taking a break this month. In his absence, we’re presenting a retrospective look at a few of the books Roger selected as ‘Palliative Care Book of the Month’ last year.
Links to the full online reviews are given so that you can browse your favorites from that year, and new readers can catch up with more of Roger’s reviews.
We hope to welcome back Roger’s usual column of book reviews in the August edition of the newsletter.
Please note that prices were correct at the time the reviews were published.
