| 520 | |a In this book Dr. Steven Jonas and his coauthors do much to remedy the lack of basic texts conveying the knowledge required by present and future decision makers in the health care system. The book is basically descriptive in nature, examining the various elements in the delivery system and elucidating their interactions; it succeeds in describing this labyrinthine system lucidly and comprehensively. It does not neglect the economic ramifications of an industry that is now second only to defense in the Gross National Product, nor the political controversies raging over accountability and the right to health care. Importantly, the book is up to date in terminology, and thus will help meet the urgent need of health workers to communicate with one another and with the public at large. | ||
