Advances in Therapeutic Engineering (King, P.H., Ed.) [Book Review]

The reviewer would have loved a book such as this to have a collection to use as a textbook for my class. Unfortunately, this book is not it. Its flaws are legion, starting with a misspelling in the first paragraph that a spell-checker would have caught. Almost immediately after the preface are the names and titles of the editors with a photo of one of the editors that is badly out of focus. The writing is varied (true in any edited work) but consistently trite. The editors use a numbering system that obscures information more than it helps guide the reader. Unfortunately, for the authors, editors, and publishing house, the reviewer is left with the same question I began with: "Who would want to read this book?"
