A very well designed text for the study of medical terminology. Clear color illustrations and excellent end-of-chapter exercises to aid the learner. There is A LOT of information packed into this book, but the body systems approach breaks it into meaningful and relevant chapters. Word roots and combining forms are logically presented and reinforced as the book progresses.
