*R. Kevin Mallinson, Oxford University Press Journals:
Gerontologist*
This is a well-written, easy-to-read book. It covers many topics at
a very basic level, making it an exceptional reference for
students, trainees, and generalists. There are many other books
specific to palliative care and to geriatrics, but none that blend
the two.
*Doody's Notes*
I think this book provides a good coverage and it is very practical
and useable. Given that we are encountering an increasing number of
older adults in palliative care, this would be a useful book to
have on the shelf for quick day-to-day reference, providing the
geriatric perspective on the problems we encounter... Palliative
Care Book of the Month
