Neurology and psychiatry - P. Plowman

The illustrated lecture series This series of illustrated lectures on the medical disciplines and surgery fulfils three basic student needs to understand, to revise, and to memorise. Working on the principle that information is best transmitted, absorbed and retained through the use of illustrations, experts in different subjects have worked with medical artists to produce a massive number of drawings which illustrate every significant statement in the text. Thus a powerful visual impact is created which enhances understanding, simplifies revision and, perhaps most important, imprints the information upon the memory: in short, an ideal format for recall of information under examination conditions. Each book in the series covers a different subject and offers:

• fully indexed text covering the essentials of each subject in a succinct and lucid fashion

• several hundred illustrations with numbered labels for quick revision

• key words and phrases identified by bold type in the text

• expert authorship by teachers and practitioners

• direct linkage with examination curricula

• a framework for further study and reading
• a design which offers students the option of adding their own notes

Although primarily intended for medical students, this series will be of substantial use to nurses and allied health professionals, and to busy practitioners needing a quick refresher course in a particular subject.
