As I am currently studying anatomy and physiology, I purchased the BMA Medical Dictionary to supplement my knowledge whilst also providing explanations for a wide range of medical conditions. I am glad to confirm what others have said in that this is an extremely well written and comprehensive book with excellent illustrations that a lay person can easily understand. The authors have been successful in encompassing a huge amount of very useful information into what is a relatively compact publication and I would suggest that every household should have one.

This is a very good general health book to learn about health. It is suitable to GCSE and A-Level students and the general public. It has good descriptions and definitions. It has really good diagrams too . This is important because Medicine is a very visual subject.
