Know what you have been prescribed Advantages: Easy to read, not a lot of medical terminology Disadvantages: a lot of separate sections could become confusing I bought this book not so long ago because in September im starting my nursing course and I though it would be a good book to have on hand. It is a very informative read and it isnt too technical, which being a medical book surprised me. It goes through all the body's systems and different drugs for each system. It states the different types of drugs also (for example antibiotics, contraceptives, lipid lowering drugs etc). It also has an a-z of drugs ... ...is. It then goes onto show you pictures of drugs and that section is in different parts, which are white drugs, coloured drugs, capsules and there are more. It shows you a picture of the drug and then underneath gives you the name and size of each (for example Temazepam 30mg).

Among the cases he discusses is that ... ...surgeon, who was struck by lightning while making a telephone call, developed a passion for music within a few weeks, started teaching himself the piano, and became a compulsive composer; Silvia N., who suffered from epilepsy, who was normally sent into convulsions by a CD of Neapolitan songs; and Rachael Y., a composer and performer, who suffered a head injury in a car crash, and has retained her sense of melody but lost her sense of harmony, so ...

Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes Advantages: Easy to use, excellent for revision Disadvantages: Quite basic and sometimes doesn't give actual muscle attachments ...always buying new books with the latest information in that was all highly complicated and made very little sense to me. And so I found myself scouring through a number of online websites and bookstores attempting to find books to aid with my studies but not confuse me to boredom! This is what I found! The Concise Book of Muscles by Chris Jarmey. It gives you a little bit more than a basic guide to the anatomy of the body but is easy to read and ... ...anatomical movement and explanations about the "core stability" of the body i.e. the vertebral column and thoracic/pelvic region. It then goes on to give an explanation regarding muscle attachment and isometric/isotonic contractions which is very beneficial when studying anything medical.
