Doody's Health Science Book Review Annual - 1993

This annual publication provides extensive bibliographic and content-focused information on 1620 titles bearing a 1993 copyright.

The coverage of 826 of the titles includes an original expert review.

Coverage of many of the specialities includes commentary from the Chairperson of the Editorial Review Group on trends in book publishing during 1993 in that particular specialty. This reference is organized in four main sections - "Basic sciences", "Clinical medicine", "Associated health professions" and "Other disciplines" - with specialties arranged alphabetically under each heading.

The 1620 titles cover 88 separate specialties, and represent the products of 71 health sciences publishers. To ensure ease of access to this vast amount of information - a critical criterion for the usefulness of this volume - more than 140 pages are devoted to seven separate indexes.

The 1620 titles are indexed according to author, title, specialty, publisher and audience.

It also features an index organized by author affiliation, and a rating index that ranks the 800+ reviewed books.
