This section reviews three books: "Depression: Clinical, Experimental and Theoretical Aspects" by Aaron T. Beck, "Removable Intracranial Tumours" by Leslie Oliver, and "Immunization Against Infectious Diseases" edited by D. G. Evans. 1. **Depression: Clinical, Experimental and Theoretical Aspects**: - The book is comprehensive, covering clinical aspects, experimental work, methods of investigation, theories of causation, and treatment. - It includes a detailed description of symptomatology under mild, moderate, and severe grades. - The Beck Depression Inventory is a key tool, and the book is essential reading for anyone interested in depression. - The author acknowledges the ubiquity of depression syndromes and the rarity of positive findings in physical causes. 2. **Removable Intracranial Tumours**: - Written for postgraduate students and neurosurgeons, it focuses on neurological examination, special investigations, and clinical syndromes. - It covers radiography, electroencephalography, echoencephalography, and other diagnostic techniques. - The book emphasizes the dangers of diagnostic lumbar puncture in cases of increased intracranial pressure. - It discusses the pathology, site, and treatment of different tumors, including endocrinology of pituitary tumors. - While useful for specialists, it may not be directly relevant to general practitioners. 3. **Immunization Against Infectious Diseases**: - This review article provides a summary of basic and recent work on immunization against various diseases. - It includes 14 concise articles on viral, rickettsial, bacterial, and protozoal vaccines. - Each chapter covers topics such as natural history, pathogenesis, natural immunity, vaccine production, and complications. - The book is well-presented and informative, suitable for medical students and professionals.This section reviews three books: "Depression: Clinical, Experimental and Theoretical Aspects" by Aaron T.
