Horn Book Review
These books discuss each condition's history, detection and diagnosis, treatment, social implications, and current research. Attention is also given to outlining challenges to improving the health of sufferers. A few careless errors in [cf2]Schizophrenia[cf1] detract from an otherwise informative text. The serviceable black-and-white photos often bear little relevance to the text. Reading list, timeline, websites. Bib., glos., ind. [Review covers these Diseases and People titles: [cf2]Eating Disorders[cf1] and [cf2]Schizophrenia[cf1].] (c) Copyright 2010. The Horn Book, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc.
