The first edition of Salem Health: Men's Health includes 430 articles in 2 volumes on all aspects of health that relate to men specifically--from childhood to adulthood and old age. The articles in this 2-volume set address diseases, conditions, symptoms, syndromes, risk factors, treatments, and cultural and social perspectives. This comprehensive reference publication builds on several other Salem Health titles, including Magill's Medical Guide, Psychology & Behavioral Health, Aging, Complementary & Alternative Medicine, Nutrition, and more, containing male-specific details and perspectives not found in any of those publications. It will be of interest not only to public library patrons but also to premedical students specializing in male-specific fields, and those building collections for the patient population. Essays provide detailed yet accessible information on the topics, with hundreds of photos, diagrams, and tables throughout to clearly illustrate the subjects and provide additional detail. Numerous "Information on" sidebars also appear throughout the text, with quick access to facts such as causes, symptoms, duration, and treatments. The material in this edition is arranged in eleven categories: Anatomy, Biology, Development, Diseases/Disorders, General Health, Nutrition, Procedures, Psychology, Social Issues/Sociology, Specialties, and Treatments. portion of Publisher's Note.
