The message contained in Understanding and Preventing AIDS: a Book for Everyone is so valuable that it appears in a Spanish-language edition, has been favorably reviewed by the New England Journal of Medicine, and has received much acclaim from hospitals, medical institutes, and schools adopting it as a textbook.
With so many books on the market discussing nearly every imaginable aspect of AIDS, it may initially be difficult to understand why Understanding and Preventing AIDS is a standout - but evidence to support this fact begins with a table of contents that lends especially well to at-a-glance information with subject headings that are specific and well-done ("Humans-The Host", "Types of HIV Infections", "Catching AIDS", "Preventing HIV Infections", and more).
There's a lot of science and health information - much of it quite detailed; but all of it accessible to lay readers. There are charts, illustrations, and color photos - in other words, any kind of informational visual needed to explain a system or a medical point is employed. Finally, there's a candid attention to discussing everything from sexual method to why there is a reluctance to consider condoms, leaving nothing to wonder. Simple language is used that is direct, scientific, and easy to understand, making Understanding and Preventing AIDS: a Book for Everyone a 'must' for any collection looking to blend the latest scientific and health facts with an approach accessible to lay audiences and medical personnel alike.
