Publisher Synopsis
From the reviews:"This is an interesting and comprehensive monograph on the syndrome familiar to us all as 'the common cold'. ... the editors have generally avoided repetition and many of the chapters are data-rich, with good overviews of the epidemiology and treatments, many of which are refreshingly up-to-date. ... The book also contains a wealth of useful background information on the economic and societal impact of the common cold, and is recommended for institutional purchase." (David J. Evans, Microbiology Today, August, 2010) Read more...
