Medical library reference collections seeking an updated medical dictionary packed with the latest research should look no further than this newly revised second edition of Stedman's Medical Dictionary: it's been completely revamped to include the latest tests, diseases, treatments and medical technology and provides a jargon-free reference which assumes no prior medical background to prove useful. From biographical entries for leading scientists and physicians to charts, illustrations, and usage guidance, Stedman's Medical Dictionary is clearly a 'must' acquisition.
