This is a great book, one that every family will find useful as a reference when minor injuries occur and you need to locate the injury either for descriing it to a doctor or determining whether you need a doctor. Having it around might encourage your children to become a doctor or a nurse someday. I had been relying on Gray's Anatomy for many years, but despite its importance for Anatomy, it was really written as a textbook for surgeons when surgery was hardly developed as a science. This is a relatively small, handy reference which includes all the amazing drawings that were done for the prior text but for a layman's point of view. Very well done.
