From the Back Cover

Osteoporosis is a major public health threat that affects 28 million people in the U.S. alone, according to the Osteoporosis and Related Bone Diseases National Resource Center. Paget's disease, osteogenesis imperfecta, and other bone and mineral disorders are less common, but can be even more devastating to their victims. Medical practitioners need quick access to information on these disorders in order to help patients and their families. The Bone and Mineral Manual is designed specifically for this purpose.
