Y1 - 2014 N1 - T2 - Johns Hopkins Textbook of Cardiothoracic Surgery AB - Paradoxically, our information age has flooded us with an unprecedented volume of medical information (the proverbial “drinking from a firehose”), yet clarity and wisdom still seem as rare as a desert oasis. This long-awaited second edition of the Johns Hopkins Textbook of Cardiothoracic Surgery is an arrival welcomed by all surgeons in our specialty, from the novice to the seasoned, who are thirsty for the insight and perspective vested in each chapter. The subtle title change from “manual” to “textbook” belies the substantial additions and enhancements that mark the second edition, including new chapters and authors, key concepts, color accenting, and expanded bibliographies. This work takes its place as one of the most comprehensive yet readable books on the subject and is the best example I know to support the argument that the printed textbook is alive and well, and in great demand.
