Book Reviews of Mosby's Medical, Nursing & Allied Health Dictionary
Book Review: complete with pictures
Summary: 5 Stars
Mosby's dictionary far exceeded my expectations for medical knowledge. Its pictures, charts, tables, and lab data are incredibly useful in getting better understanding of the diseases, conditions, procedures, and body structures that you are researching. Mosby's is not for the faint of heart, the numerous photographs, diagrams, and pictures are very graphic especially with some of the congenital anomalies and skin disorders. A lot of nurses that I went to school with (and I agree) feel that this was the better choice of reference because it prepares you for what you may encounter and many of us are visual learners (we have to see to understand). I really like how informative the definitions are and have found there are more listings here then in other dictionaries such as Tabors. We keep a reference Mosby on my floor and I also have one saved in my personal office. Its a valuable tool for anyone entering the medical profession or interested in anatomy or health.
