Great suggestion Kathy. However, I'd also caution people not to necessarily
take something as absolute truth just because it is in a textbook. I know
that in my area of speciality (relactation/induced lactation) I do not
consider any of the text books to have sufficiently detailed accurate
information (IMO they range from OK but with some problems to really awful
with the awful end of the range heavily weighted). I suspect that this is
also the case for many other areas.
