Recensione

From the reviews: “This book emphasizes the importance of English as a tool of communication in the world of science and provides common survival skills for nonfluent/non-native English speakers going to English-speaking countries for training in surgery. ... The target audience appears to be non-native/nonfluent English-speaking surgeons. ... it may be useful for non-native/nonfluent English speakers going to English-speaking countries for the first time, whether as students, residents, or practitioners.” (Vinod Gollapalli, Doody’s Review Service, March, 2010)
