From Library Journal This well-written and nonjudgmental handbook， an update and revision of a 1979 edition， includes lengthy discussions of life stages and health， promoting wellness， and first aid， in addition to brief essays covering specific diseases， types of health-care providers， tests， and procedures. Diseases recently in the public eye， such as AIDS， Epstein-Barr， and Lyme disease， are addressed， as are social problems such as battered child syndrome. Medical terms are explained parenthetically， and the index provides many cross-references from popular to medical terms. The lack of bibliographies and references to more in-depth treatments is disappointing in an otherwise excellent home guide to medical care and healthy living.- Kathryn Hammell Carpenter， Univ. of Illinois， ChicagoCopyright 1989 Reed Business Information， Inc. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
