Dr. Maben-Feaster: The AMA’s health systems science (HSS) textbooks ( and ) have done a great job of defining HSS and its domains as well as making the case for why it is so important for medical education and health care reform.

This book is designed to build on the HSS textbooks and provide practical advice and examples to help educators incorporate HSS into their curricula. MORE

At the time of the first edition in 1999, several excellent multivolume textbooks of ophthalmology existed. However, we believed a complete, single-volume textbook directed towards trainees, non-ophthalmologists, and those general ophthalmologists who wanted an update in areas that they were not experts in would fill a niche. Ophthalmology was created to fill this void between the multivolume and the narrow subspecialty book. Each section was color coded for easy access. With each new edition, we have strived to make it comprehensive, readable, and easy to access. We have routinely added new material and discarded outdated material with each edition. All chapters are thoroughly revised and new entities added with every new edition. MORE
