"If you want a thoughtful, broad-based look at the emerging biomedical condition of Long COVID, this is the volume to have! Edited by Leonard Jason, PhD and Charles Lapp, MD, each chapter covers a significant medical or behavioral aspect of Long COVID so you can easily focus in on your particular area of interest or concern. Well-described case studies illustrate key aspects of the illness. I strongly recommend this book!"
