This is the first mycology book I've come across that actually has a chapter on MYCOTOXINS and HUMAN DISEASES! Mycotoxins are the missing link between the common illnesses that farmers encounter every day and our common, chronic, human diseases (such as heart disease, infertility, and cancer). Just killing the fungus is not good enough to establish good health. Rather, reducing ones exposure to mycotoxins is equally as important. This one chapter makes the rest of the book well worth it!
Clinical Mycology is on balance weak in many areas, but most notably diagnosing trauma related opportunistic fungal bone infections. Many references are made to "uncommon" and "unusual" cases, but little mention is given to diagnostic methodolgy. See Clinical Mycology Online--"Opportunistic Fungal Infections" Reference--"Aspergillus seldom isolated from blood, urine, CSF." Author doesn't tell you that C.T. scans are an unreliable tool for diagnosing some fungal infections. See A.M. Sugar & C. A. Lyman "A Practical Guide To Medically Important Fungi And The Diseases They Cause" P.69 This is minimum information that you will not find in this book. A better alternative are two books, one by Fisher/Cook "Fundamentals of Diagnostic Mycology" and the other by Sugar/Lyman. Of course, there are also many strong articles worth reading in this book, and for that reason it is worth bookshelf space--
