Description
MLA's Master Guide Authoritative Information Resources in the Health Sciences recommends the Cecil for "hospital, academic, consumer health libraries." Clarity, comprehensiveness, and focus are hallmarks of this enduring reference, which was first published in 1927. This mammoth volume (the publisher also offers a two-volume version) would probably be an excellent book-of-choice for anyone planning to be stranded on a desert island, if they could find a flat place on a table (or a large rock) where it could stay (no one would want to hoist it from a shelf). Fortunately, online access to the contents is included with purchase. In addition, roughly 75 QR codes in the front matter give quick access to videos from mobile devices (no logon required).
