According to Scientific American, three of the top five Google “What is…?” searches in 2014 were health-related searches – continuing a longstanding trend of medical issues topping Internet inquiries. People want health information. And they want it immediately, from home, on the go, in the office, or wherever they are.
The Internet is a tempting and quick source of information – and also a rich source of misinformation. Without authoritative information, people in your community are susceptible to falling prey to bad medical practices. Or overwhelmed by inaccessible terms that confuse more than enlighten.
Now you can provide them with authoritative information about health concerns and treatments that people face at each stage of life. Gale Encyclopedia of Medicine, 5th Edition, is an easy-to-read, jargon-free, well organized, and illustrated resource that makes important medical information understandable. It’s a one-stop resource on all aspects of health issues, prevention, diagnosis, and care.
With nearly 2,000 entries written by medical writers and healthcare professionals, the Gale Encyclopedia of Medicine offers enlightening sidebars that define terms, as well as a comprehensive glossary and subject index.
