General Medicine - Tapa dura

The body of medical knowledge has grown so vast in the course of the last forty years, that to include every new term would be a practical impossibility. The author has therefore compiled a work which is intended as an epitome of current medical knowledge for all those who are working in the ever wider field of medicine. This is a four-volume work which provides not just a translation of each term, but also a concise description or explanation of that term. This is the only dictionary in the field that combines both translation and definition of terms. An invaluable reference for general practitioners, specialists, consultants and students, it also provides paramedical personnel with a wealth of information, concisely presented and explained. Medical students in various countries and scientists in general will find the dictionary indispensable when reading or writing papers and articles in a foreign language as they will be able to quickly and easily find both the correct terminology and the correct meaning of any term. All users of the dictionary will appreciate the clarity of the definitions and translations as well as the completeness of its coverage.
