"The beauty of Current Issues: Health
lies in the care with which the assortment of documents was put
together. It is equally well suited for someone hoping to find
information on how to learn more about a health problem,
including how to deal with it, as it is for someone examining a
health-related issue from a research or personal perspective...
That this resource can serve as a starting point for more
in-depth research via WilsonWeb or the internet only increases
its overall value." —netConnect
"This substantial file will be usable,
and used, by a wide range of researchers successfully... I give
it a 10. ...Addresses a whole new world of health-related topics
in a dynamic, accessible way. Enthusiastically recommended for
all libraries." —Library Journal
