Now in its
second edition, this is undoubtedly the best
single-volume medical atlas available today, the only
better resource being Netter's classic eight-volume set,
published in 13 physical volumes over 33 years starting
in 1959 and originally called CIBA Collection of Medical
Illustrations after the publisher. (The name was changed
to Netter's Collection of Medical Illustrations by the
new publisher, Novartis.) Once again, Netter's masterly
artwork has been faithfully reproduced, though the first
edition (LJ 12/89) has been updated to reflect current
anatomical knowledge and to incorporate new
cross-sectional images to assist in the recognition of
current "scanned" images. Organized by anatomical
regions, the illustrations are colorful, easily defined,
and clearly labeled, and the book closes with a very
easy-to-use 48-page index. Highly recommended for public
and academic librariesAEric D. Albright, Duke Univ.

Gale
Encyclopedia of Genetic Disorder» Two Volume Set
Readable, well organized, and easy to use, this
outstanding encyclopedia signifies a timely and major
advance in providing in-depth and comprehensive coverage
of medical genetics for the lay reader. The two volumes
include nearly 400 substantive entries on genetic
diseases and conditions as well as information on basic
genetics concepts such as DNA, chromosomes, genetic
testing, and pedigree analysis and construction (genetic
family history). An advisory board of seven
distinguished genetics specialists (clinical geneticists
and genetic counselors) oversaw the accuracy of the
text, which is authored by an international slate of
clinicians, genetic counselors, and medical writers.
Each of the alphabetically arranged entries follows a
standard format definition, description, genetic
profile, demographics, and signs and symptoms designed
to answer the questions healthcare consumers actually
ask. In addition, entries provide citations for further
reading, contact information for support and advocacy
organizations, and recommendations for notable web
sites. Cross references for subjects without entries are
interspersed throughout the work and are easy to follow.
The key terms box that appears in select entries and
provides succinct and understandable definitions is
especially noteworthy. Other special features include a
comprehensive glossary, a chromosome map, a guide to
symbols for pedigree charts, and an organizations
directory all features that should make understanding
difficult genetics concepts much easier. The
Encyclopedia of Genetic Disorders and Birth Defects
(Facts On File, 2000. 2d ed.) has long been the
authoritative title for this subject and should remain
on the shelf. However, larger consumer health
collections and those that frequently receive requests
for consumer information on clinical genetics are
advised to purchase this as a supplement; it is worth
every penny. Highly recommended.
