Everyone must have this book. It has helped us so many times in understanding medical questions and concerns. Makes a great gift.

book met all the expected requirements. Easy to read and understand.

This book,while clear and informative,is a fascinating read.Through easy to understand languange and graphics,it illustrates how the body works,what can go wrong,and options to treat it.A great value.

I purchased this as a gift for a family member. I have my own copy. As a pharmacist I find this reference to be complete, comprehensive, easy to navigate and understand. The recipients agree.

An absolute treasure trove of information. Some complain that it's not detailed enough but its purpose isn't to provide a definitive treatise on each and every body part and disease. The writing is very readable and I like that the entire book is cross referenced with itself so you can follow up each entry. The drawings are a bit lean but, again, this is not meant as a visual dictionary. From the standpoint of a home medical manual the entries are thorough and give an excellent overview of the topic. The index is very detailed and there are several appendices included that provide additional information on a host of topics. This is a great reference to have around the house.
