This book is invaluable as a medical terminology reference – initially designed for the derivation of the anatomical terms; it has expanded to include tables of medical, pathological and other specialist terms; tables of prefixes and suffixes which allow interpretation of terms and lists of abbreviations commonly in use. It also includes forms of address, titles, major medical associations and other useful material; such as the preparation of specimens for the laboratory. Many small illustrations are used to demonstrate the terms throughout the book.
