Description: A joint effort of the Johns Hopkins University Schools of Medicine, Hygiene and Public Health, and Nursing, and the Johns Hopkins Hospital and Health System, this comprehensive, authoritative, and highly accessible health reference takes a realistic and balanced approach to the subject, including more informative, up-to-date, and clearly written entries, and more superior two-color illustrations than its excellent competitive tides. Johns Hopkins Family Health Book covers the full spectrum of health care from "Staying Healthy", to "Health over the Lifecourse", to "Body Systems and Disorders", to "Becoming a Partner in Your Health Care". Fully illustrated with both two- and four-color illustrations, plus sidebars, cross-referencing, glossary, appendices, and endpapers illustrated with CPR techniques and Heimlich maneuver for quick reference, this is the head-to-toe resource no home should be without.
