For the past twenty years the publishers of THE MERCK MANUAL, one of the most widely used sources of medical information in the world, realised that more and more copies of the guide were being purchased by people who were not healthcare professionals, despite the fact that it had never been advertised and was not written for public use. Recognising the public's increasing need for access to the same medical information doctors have, Merck responded with the HOME EDITION. This contained virtually all the information in the physician's version, but in easy-to-understand, everyday language, with a reader-friendly format. Since its publication three years ago the HOME EDITION has gone on to sell more than 2 million copies worldwide. Now Merck have updated the edition to cater for the changing medical environment. The new edition contains 35 new chapters on subjects ranging from Gene Therapy and the warning signs of cancer to biological warfare and terrorism and with 64 new illustrations and colour plates along with new tables on emerging drugs, THE MERCK MANUAL is the only home reference guide all health conscious readers will need.

I first discovered this book when I was studying for my Registered Nursing board exam. I could not find answers in the many nursing references I had, so I stumbled upon this book in the library. I discovered gold! The book gives a comprehensive overview of medical problems and treatments, striking an excellent balance between brevity and detail. It is written in plain language without being condescending. After examining the full-blown version and comparing it to this Home Edition, I decided the latter was the one I wanted for my nursing library.
