From reviews of the previous edition:
‘Fabulous product which oozes quality. Does the job to a tee, was sceptical before purchase as so cheap but it is the best on the market to do this job.’
‘An illustrated colour text covering off all aspects of the lifespan as well as health promotion, society and health and how health services work - to name but a few.’
‘Each chapter has case studies, "stop-think" sections which encourage active reflection, and reinforcement of learning through small, bite-sized reinforced chunks of information.’
‘… a really fundamental textbook for any first- or second-year medical student. It really helps you to appreciate the "non-science" side of medicine; how important it is to understand where the patient is coming from, geographically and ideologically. Also, this book deals amazingly well with current issues, such as social difficulties stemming from genetic testing. The double-page spread format interspersed with extension boxes and pictures is a really easy read and a first-rate revision tool. Indispensable book….’
