Book Description
The articles in The Encyclopedia of Medical Devices and Instrumentation focus on what is currently useful or is likely to be useful in future medicine. They answer the question, "What are the branches of medicine and how does technology assist each of them?" Articles focus on the practice of medicine that is assisted by devices, rather than including, for example, the use of drugs to treat disease.

Book Review
Encyclopedia of Natural Medicine weighs three pounds and nine ounces, has 946 pages, and is as informative as it is hefty. The authors are naturopathic doctors--they focus on promoting health and treating disease with nontoxic, natural therapies. Naturopathic medicine follows these seven principles: Do no harm: use safe, effective, natural therapies. Nature has healing powers: the physician's job is to enhance the body's natural power to heal itself. Identify and treat the cause: find the cause, rather than just suppress the symptoms. Treat the whole person: administer to the patient's physical, mental/emotional, spiritual, and social sides. The physician is a teacher: educate and motivate patients to take more responsibility for their health. Prevention is the best cure: health-supporting life habits prevent disease.... |

From the New England Journal of Medicine, November 18, 2004
Medical anthropologists often trace their intellectual origins to the 19th-century work of Rudolf Virchow, the German physician whose interests ranged from cell physiology to the political and cultural contexts of health and disease. However, the discipline began taking professional form only during the 1950s and 1960s, and then largely in the United States, as sponsors of international health programs began to engage social anthropologists to serve as cultural brokers in the management of their various campaigns. Ironically, the professional success these early investigators achieved with their commissioned ethnographies tended to make them intellectually suspect to the more theoretically oriented anthropologists who then controlled the field. During the past two or three... |

*Starred Review* One would expect to find discussion of such topics as accessibility, assistive technology, and mainstreaming in a reference source called Encyclopedia of Disability --but readers might be surprised to find Archaeology; Dickens, Charles; Norse sagas; and Postcolonialism in the list of entries. The wide range of coverage distinguishes this particular set, which was designed "to bring current knowledge and experience with disability across a wide variety of places, conditions, and cultures to both the general reader and the specialist."Editor Albrecht (University of Illinois at Chicago) and over 500 authors from around the world contributed the more than 800 entries. Almost 200 of the entries are biographical, treating individuals from Homer and Socrates to Helen Keller and Franklin... |

From Booklist
Conspiracies and conspiracy theories, both documented and undocumented, abound in our world. Many of these, even though documented, are only theoretical and not actual fact, and as author Newton states, "some are absurd, transparently ridiculous, or even physically impossible." However, they certainly make for fascinating reading.This volume's 500-plus entries are arranged alphabetically and encompass people; conspiratorial organizations and movements; nations involved in conspiracies; specific events; and general essays on social, political, or religious movements. The selection of topics represents what Newton considers "significant" conspiracy and conspiracy theories--that is, those that affect large numbers of people or inspire widespread interest. Entries are typically one-half to three and one-half pages in length.... |

Grade 3-5-Earning high marks for visual appeal, this introduction to human anatomy features photos of bright-faced children posed on every page, along with plenty of informative, color-enhanced views of insides and outsides. The arrangement is topical, tending toward the one-topic-per-spread format but with larger subjects given more space; one spread is devoted to the structure of the human hand, the nervous system gets four (five if you count one on "Sleep"), and reproduction, from "Egg and Sperm" to "Similarities," takes up six. The text is blocked into scattered paragraphs of, at most, a half dozen sentences, and for all its brevity is pleasantly precise and specific, e.g., "In the cortex and medulla [of the kidney] there are about one million tiny filtering units called nephrons." Each spread includes... |
