About this product

Product Information

Packed full of essential information in an easy-to-read style The Merck Manual Of Medical Information is the home reference guide for all health conscious readers. For the past twenty years the publishers of The Merck Manual, one of the most widely used sources of medical information in the world, realised that more and more copies of the guide were being purchased by people who were no healthcare professionals, despite the fact that it had never been advertised and was not written for public use. Recognising the public's increasing need for access to the same medical information doctors have, Merck responded with the Home Edition. This contained virtually all the information in the physician's version, but in easy-to-understand everyday language, with a reader-friendly format. Since its publication three years ago the Home Edition has gone on to sell more than 2 million copies worldwide. Now Merck have updated the edition to cater for the changing medical environment. The new edition contains 35 new chapters on subjects ranging from Gene Therapy and the warning signs of cancer to biological warfare and terrorism and with 64 new illustrations and colour plates along with new tables

    Factual but understandable language.

    A very comprehensive book of medical information in a easy understandable language. A book that covers almost all conditions of our bodies and the diseases and their treatment whether it cancer or a ingrown toenail. It s a book that I would not be without.

  • Merck Manual of Medical Information

    If you only get one medical reference book, make sure it is this one. Information is organized in a way that it is easy to find what you are looking for and easy to understand. I have several medical references but this is by far the best. I purchased this to learn more about a medical condition my mom was having and have used it for numerous other things. It covers everyday aches and pains as well as major diseases.

  • Information for the layman!!

    This is such a great source to look to for medical information for those of us who don't want a bunch of technical words to try to figure out!
