For doctors or other health care workers seeking a visual way of communicating information to patients or family members, two volumes present 101 charts (produced by the Anatomical Chart Company) pertaining to major systems and anatomical structures and to a wide variety of health conditions commonly seen in primary care. The charts feature clear, colorful art, along with explanatory text conveying a useful amount of detail. One deficiency is that the charts were originally formatted for a larger (poster-size) presentation, and in their reduced size (10x12") the type is quite small and some detail in the art is smaller than desirable; a magnifying glass would be useful to keep around, especially for older viewers. The volumes are comb bound with a hard cover, allowing for convenient display either flat on a table or propped up. Pages are laminated so that a dry erase pen can be used for marking while communicating (the pen marks will wipe off). This edition is identified as the seventh, and the earliest date on the copyright page is 1985; it's not stated what's been updated or changed, but presumably there have been additions and alterations of the information pertaining to diseases and disorders in particular to keep it up to date. The two volumes come packaged in their own box. Annotation ©2011 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
