This edition the AMA encyclopedia (2003) is fully based on its first edition (1989), so the review of the first applies to the second. The 1989 had better illustrations on the whole, but their editors often included inappropriate depictions for no apparent reasons. This irresponsibility carried over into discussions particularly as regards ethical issues, such as abortion (unfortunately, this is something we have come to guess from the medical industry). It is evident the editors had a very large axe to grind when discussing medically induced death therapy that is applied to our unborn citizens. There was neither a mature discussion of the particularly disastrous effect on our black communities through America’s legalized and ongoing killing of babies; nor a serious review of the more than ample documentation as regards the Abortion-Breast Cancer (ABC) link, nor an assessment of the emotion scarring of the widespread Post Abortion Syndrome. Also, its discussion of sodomy inexplicably still utilized the discredited and criminally derived Kinsey report, and did not give adequate warning about the inherent dangers of that lifestyle. By overlooking these deficiencies, much excellent knowledge is available in the work. This new 2003 version includes significant and helpful updates since the 1989 publication.

We are very pleased with this book. We have an older edition and are using quite regularly. My parents expressed interested so I bought the latest edition for them.

I like this encyclopedia. I had a 1989 version that needed an update so I ordered this, the 2003, the most recent publication I may possibly find. It’s a fantastic way to look up symptoms, diseases, body parts, etc, without having to go online. I reckon every household should have one.

The AMA Encyclopedia is invaluable. It’s complete, detailed and well layed out.
It’s the best resource small of the internet. We used the ancient guide for years.
The front section that allows you to go through an illness step-by-step is worth the cost lonely. What a excellent investment in your health.

My family has everlastingly relied on the ancient AMA Encyclopedia; this new edition is terrific. It has more definitions, even better illustrations and photos, and more matter-of-fact in rank. I especially like the symptoms charts and the color section on the human body. With all the questionable health in rank on the Web, it’s excellent to have all the basics in an up-to-date guide from a source you can trust.
