Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
Grade 8 Up–In a world in which medical and health literacy are increasingly important, an accessible medical dictionary is an asset. This revision of the 1995 edition contains over 45,000 jargon-free terms that will help intelligent consumers understand what the doctor says, as well as the increasingly ubiquitous messages and acronyms in ads, self-help publications, TV shows, and social conversation. Thirteen hundred terms are new to this edition, including biographical entries, abbreviations, and commonly prescribed medications. The introductory guide succinctly explains the book's organization, syllabication, pronunciation, inflection, and sequencing of information. A "Compound Word Index" lists nouns found in more than one entry. Each entry in the index includes every adjective that precedes it in the dictionary (e.g., "abortion" appears eight times, including "incomplete abortion," "spontaneous abortion," and so on). Illustrations of specific anatomical features and anomalies appear throughout for clarification. Appendixes include measurements and metric conversions, RDA recommendations for vitamins and minerals, a periodic table of elements, and full-body illustrations of skeletal muscles, bones, and both the vascular and nervous systems. While the print format poses limitations (the book cannot keep up with every breaking medical issue, such as the Vioxx recall), this volume is nonetheless a fount of information and terms clearly–but not simplistically–defined.–Mary R. Hofmann, Rivera Middle School, Merced, CA
