Review:
"Contributors write with a minimum of medical jargon so that students and other nonmedical professionals easily can understand the content. This title is suitable for high school, public, and undergraduate academic libraries, as well as consumer health collections. Summing up: Recommended. Lower- and upper-level undergraduates, two-year technical program students, and general readers."
