Oxford Illustrated Companion to Medicine - The One Companion to the Merck Manual

The brand new never used volume is more than a dictionary but not quite an encyclopedia. the length of the alphabetically arranged entries, all of which are well written and highly informative, varies from a paragraph to eight pages. In addition to the entries, contributed by 200 highly respected authors, there is a topic index, a people index, a general index, and a list of individual conditions and diseases. This work covers a wonderful array of topics, from diabetes and natural childbirth to health insurance. It should not be viewed as the sole medical reference work in a library, but it makes a fine accompaniment to such standards as the Merck Manual for Diagnosis and Therapy and the Gale Encyclopedia of Medicine. A great value for its cost.

Hardcover. 2" thick. 10" X 8". 3rd ed. 2001. Oxford press. Lists on Amazon at $75.
