Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)First let me say that I used to have the classic AMA Encyclopedia of Medicine for years from 1989 edition, and finally the AMA released a newer book, but it is certainly not as good as the first one and not as good as this ACP Med Guide. Just go to any bookstore and open any page and you'll see what I mean.
The AMA hardly has any photos in the text and is not as nearly richly illustrated as the ACP Complete Med Guide.This book is loaded with so many rich full color photos and illustrations, it is mind boggling. I have worked in the medical field for nearly 10 years and I have never seen some of the photos in this book.
Many photos are close up using electron microscopes that capture spectacular images of cells. I had taken anatomy and physiology I and II in college and never saw an image of a nerve entering a muscle fiber.
There's a ton of images of various diseases that show you for example instantly what a suspicious skin mole might look like.
Every major system in the body is covered exhaustively by diagrams not just showing the anatomy but how the system and each organ work together.
There's a first aid section at the end that illustrates CPR etc.
There's links to relevant websites throughout the text.
Just go browse it at any bookstore.. I could not put it down for two hours!
Well done American College of Physicians and DK publishing!
