Library Journal

In this book, revised from his first edition of the same title ( LJ 9/8/83), White uses an informal style to update lay readers on new developments in the diagnosis and treatment of structural problems and disease of the spine. When considering only his coverage of spinal disorders, White, a leading orthopedic surgeon, has few peers. However, aggressive rehabilitation of back muscle injury by either the patient or a therapist is given little attention. A more thorough treatment of such rehabilitation can be found in Constance Bean's The Better Back Book ( LJ 4/1/89). But for those whose backs ache from disorders of the spine itself, White's book is superior. Recommended for public libraries.-- Robert Jordan, Univ. of Iowa, Iowa City
