Advantages: Great content, excellent articles,honest reporting
Disadvantages: Bit too US centric, blind to American misadventures

I grew up with Readers Digest, as a kid, from the 70's, through the 80's, 90's and even now. To date, there have been many magazines, that have been in and out of my list, but Reader's Digest is always there. Hell, i can never even think of ditching this magazine.

An interesting book of case studies

Advantages: Interesting, thought-provoking case studies
Disadvantages: Author doesn't really make any conclusions clear; more for the specialist

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. The book then moves on in sections working from the head downwards with pictures of the muscles and a statement of: origin, insertion, action and nerve supply. ...
