The Oxford Illustrated Companion to Medicine by Stephen Lock

This is a guide to the field of medicine and its specialties. It has been rethought and redesigned with a greater emphasis on the history of medicine, its cultural links with the arts and music, and its international nature.

"This is a dangerous book: once you start reading it you cannot stop" Focus on Alternative and Complimentary Therapies, Volume 7 (2) "Rarely is a book such a pleasure to review. The list of contributors reads like a list of the medical greats of recent times." April 2002 "Apart from being beautifully presented, this book is a real treasure chest ... It is always a fantastic privilege to be asked to review a book of this magnitude and calibre, not least because this assures ownership of a weighty volume which is, in fact, very reasonably priced. As a resource of teaching in medicine, nursing or allied health professions this book will be invaluable and it will be an essential order for the medical or nursing library. " Journal of Advanced Nursing "Right from the very first few pages of this beautifully bound volume, it rapidly becomes clear that one is reading the definitive guide to medidicine ... At less than the price of a good meal out for two, the OCM will have pride of place on your bookshelf and will provide many entertaining hours of relaxation." Essential Medical World "This book contains a wealth of information on medicine and its history." International Journal of Adolescent Mental Health
