This beautiful comprehensive text (1039 pages including a thorough index) helps readers learn complex medical terminology through the latest language developmental approach. I especially appreciated how the terms are clearly developed, making them accessible to learners of all levels. Then the text brings the medical terms to life with engaging narratives that follow recurring characters and their patient updates at just the right pacing and with the perfect level of information unfolded bit by bit in word building exercises and practical applications. The text is suffused with brilliantly colored illustrations and photographs. Key terms are highlighted in yellow, and each chapter, though of manageable size, is full of terms and applications. Also in the chapters are related topics, career spotlights, pronunciation guides, acronym aids, and tests. The tests include free writing, mix and match, critical thinking, and building words--as well as practice and review--and all in color, color, color! The neatest thing about this textbook is that it is so untextbooky. The patients feel like real people, and the doctors and medical personnel engage in revealing conversations, using both medical terminology and medical jargon. I highly recommend MEDICAL LANGUAGE: TERMINOLOGY IN CONTEXT for anyone seeking medical language acquisition as well as an acquaintance with the health and allied health professions.
