Media Reviews
...a thorough, user--friendly and attractively presented reference book. I found that, unlike some other dictionaries, it contained an entry for almost every word and/or term that I looked up whilst a road--testinga it. My first test was to look up a appendicular skeletona , a term that was unfamiliar to me when I came across it whilst reviewing a paper; the dictionary explained it. Journal of Clinical Nursing An essential text on every ward and every nursea s book shelf ... I would go so far as to recommend that it is the first book that student nurses should buy with their meagre book allowance!
