From the reviews: "Agricultural Medicine, a multiauthored book edited by James E. Lessinger, is a study in 'agro-medicine' ... . Lessenger and colleagues have assembled a wealth of information that will be useful to a wide audience in understanding the health of a dynamic population of workers and their families. Agricultural Medicine belongs on the desks (and not just in the libraries) of occupational specialists, primary care physicians practicing in rural communities, and anyone else interested in the health and well-being of agricultural workers and their families." (Jeffrey L. Levin, The New England Journal of Medicine, Vol. 355 (9), 2006) "Agricultural Medicine: A Practical Guide is a textbook about the hazards, injuries, illnesses, disability, and mortality associated with agriculture. ... this is a reference book of agricultural medicine, which is a subset of occupational medicine ... . Agricultural Medicine: A Practical Guide should have a place in ... training and practice, along with preventive and clinical references in primary care, agro-medicine, and occupational medicine."
