Dictionary of Biomedical Science
I am a Biomedical Science student and I did not find this book to be very useful. Even though I does have over 7000 entries in it, many of them are not relevant to Biomedical Science. It has a lot of chemistry terms that I do not need. Don't get me wrong, there is some useful information in it but it's not worth a purchase.
