I started my education using Mosby's (which is a decent book), but I needed something more and this is it! It has very extensive and detailed descriptions. It just doesn't tell you the definitions...it describes everything possible about the word. Well worth your money!

I am currently a nursing student in my final year. I have seen a number of medical encyclopedias / dictionaries, and in my opinion, Taber's is by far the best I have used. It is loaded with useful illustrations, and never did this cyclopedia not contain the medical term I was looking for information on. Judge for youself, but I don't believe that you will find another medical dictionary / encyclopedia any better than Taber's, and most of them are not nearly as good.

This has been a great asset to me. I think it was the best investment I could have made. It helps me in my medical terminology class as well as with my family's health issues. Recommend it highly.

I am a student of medical coding and Taber's has been indispensible to me. It includes excellent charts and entries that I will use for years to come. In some cases it explains things more thoroughly than my textbooks do! A must have for many areas of the medical field.

I am delighted with the condition of this book, excellent condition. It arrived very quickly, probably even earlier than it was suppose to.
I am just not sure how to give back a rating until I receive one in my email, otherwise it would have been rated earlier. Thank you for the product. (Review Data Last Updated: 2009-03-22 04:40:29 EST)

I ordered this not realizing that I would need internet access to use the CD. While out in the field, I don't have an internet connection available (wireless either). Not being able to use this offline defeated the purpose of purchasing it with the CD.

I love this book compared to "stanton" at my school. I found that dictionary to be too big and wordy. This book was even approved by my professor, so any med student should seriously consider buying this nice reference book. There isn't much more I can say, enjoy!

I could not believe the difference in the New tabers Dictionary, the last one I purchased was when I was in Nurses training. Iam very please with the product and am glad I went into Amazon.com looking for it. I didn't think there was a new edition. Thank You

So far my husband and I have found this book to be very helpful, we have only had it a month and are both taking medical terminology. He's taking the class for a biology degree, and I'm taking the class for massage therapy. Every time we have looked up a word, it has been there. If it needs a picture, there is one. It always gives you the root word with prefix and suffix separated and what language the word came from. The thumb index makes it much easier to find pages quickly than the books that don't have them. The definitions are easy to understand and are oftentimes more helpful than the definitions in either of our textbooks.

I was very pleased with the purchase of Tabers Cyclopedic. I never thought that this 8th edition would be so indebt with the information I was looking for.
It is one of the best medical dictionaries out there. (Review Data Last Updated: 2008-10-04 02:15:37 EST)

This book was recommended by my EMS class as a long life investment if you plan to be in the medical field... particularly if your going to be a nurse. I really love this dictionary over the Webster one because of the visual aides that the Taber's provides. Only down fall is it's not lightweight and the pages are like bible paper. Still, from my experience so far, it's been the best reference book for all that medical jargon. It really has come in handy for my EMT class. :)

I purchased this book and just love it! I have another book by Mosby that I purchased but found it too big to carry with me. This book is sleek and it's well laid out with easy thumb indexes. The pictures and print are clear and crisp and the information is succinct...just what I was looking for. It has help a lot to quickly refresh what I need to understand while in nursing school. Great book!

I ordered and paid for this product, $56.79. Taber's Cyclopedia Medical Dictionary & Taber's Electronic Medical Dictionary CD-ROM V 3.0.
The "&Taber's Electronic Medical Dictionary CD-ROM V 3.0" is an "online" version only for the extra $25.00, I can access this feature for only the next 12 months. Product pictured shows an "actual" CD-ROM. This is misleading advertising. Now I discover there is nothing else I can do except send it back, and I needed it 2 days ago for my daughters class. There is no place that I can find at Amazon to complain about this and perhaps obtain the "so called" CD-ROM. Hey, if I'm wrong I'll apologize, but, what would anyone think?

I was told I needed to buy this as a required book for my ADRN program, and I couldn't be more pleased with it. My teachers are testing us out of this book, there are nursing conceptual models listed in the appendix. I have found that it is helpful when I am doing my homework. I will never throw this away until I absolutely have to get a new one. I definitely would recommend it.

This is a great reference for the Medical Terminology. It breaks things down so that the average person can really grasp the concept. Plus the illustrations in the book are FANTASTIC! This was not available on my college campus and I ordered this through Amazon and got it quickly to my front door. I highly recommend this book for the Medical Terminology or just for curiosity in the medical field.

Taber's dictionary (CD-ROM) does not run from your PC, you must insert the CD-ROM. In addition, the support email address does not answer your questions.

While this book is very informative, I've looked up some medical words only to find them not listed. Out of say 99 words looked up, I maybe could not find 4. Not bad.

This is a nice little encyclopedia. It came in handy many times during nursing classes when I was not quite sure about all of the different medical terms and diseases. I would recommend it if you are going into a medical field and would like a nice reference to refer to every once in a while.

Very informational easy to understand good referral for anyone having to give medicines and not sure of what does or does mix with other meds. Good reference for Dosages, side effects. A book that not just nurses can learn from but very helpful. I have used this book from other years all the time and much better than referring to PDR.
