Reviews

“The text is well spaced, and complemented with illustrations wherever appropriate. The layout is clear and logical. The language is simple and the facts are being presented almost in note form, which is a key feature of this series, enabling the student to absorb facts more easily without overwhelming the reader. And when you think you are ready for the exam you can test your knowledge by filling in multiple choice, short answers and extended matching questions…This series is the best way to prepare for an exam and I would recommend it to everyone. "Medical Student, Maastricht University, Netherlands (series review)
