Diving Medicine   by Bove, Alfred.F., Davis, J., (1997), ISBN: 0721660568, "Excellent diving advice for the diver and non-diving MD. Fred Bove, MD has extended the great tradition of his book published in 1990 in conjunction with Jeff Davis, MD who is no longer with us. In a pragmatic way the book rightly focuses in on the pathophysiology of areas important to the diver and those treating diving related illnesses. It answers most questions asked by divers and provides a wonderful resource for Diving physicians in caring for their patients. It stays on my desk by my computer and not a day goes by that it is not used in answering questions posed to me as an Online Diving Medicine doctor. I highly recommend it for your reference library."-Ernest S. Campbell, MD (divedoctor@earthlink.net)
