For over a century The Merck Manual has been the world’s most widely used medical reference – trusted by doctors, nurses, pharmacists and other health care professionals. The Merck Manual Home Health Handbook is designed to make in-depth medical information accessible to the everyday reader. Since its publication in 1997 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. This third edition contains new chapters on subjects ranging from gene therapy, heart disease, cancer, nutrition problems and children's health issues.
