Description - Medical Bibliography by Leslie T. Morton
The book provides a chronological bibliography of the most important contributions to the world literature on medicine and related sciences. Annotations are added to explain the significance of individual contributions to the history and development of the medical sciences. The compilation of the 5th edition has involved revision of the work from literally the first entry all the way through to the end. Certain sections are extensively revised, expanded and updated; others are only slightly corrected. Virtually every section has been changed in some way. A few old entries have been moved to new locations. There are completely new sections for Ecology, Paleoanthropology - Human Prehistory, Teratology, Medical Education and the Medical Profession, Resuscitation, Aviation Medicine - Acupuncture (Western References). References to Geriatrics, have been significantly expanded within the section on State Medicine - Public Health - Geriatrics - Hygiene. The sections on Anatomy and Medicine in Art have been extensively rewritten and expanded. In all 1051 entries have been added, 2313 annotations revised or rewritten and 119 deleted.
From the approximately 7800 entries in the fourth edition the work has been expanded to a total of 8927. The indices to personal names and subjects are completely new for this edition.
