“Patrons seeking information about diseases and conditions appear often at the reference desk. They may be ill or seeking information for a family member or a school report. The third edition of Human Diseases and Conditions is accessible and easy to use. It contains more than 450 signed entries from medical writers and health care professionals. Seventy-five are new, and another 75 have been updated. All of the previous statistics, bibliographic entries, and organization listings are updated, as well. . . Although this resource is designed for middle-school and high-school collections, it is also a good choice for public and consumer health libraries because it is easy to read.”
