Classical Roots for Medics by Katie Brooks,Donald Watt Pdf
Classical Roots for Medics is a new Chambers title for students of medicine and subjects allied to medicine. Such students must become acquainted with an immense vocabulary of medical terms, most of which are compounds of a small number of Greek and Latin 'roots'. These languages would once have been familiar to medical students but are now studied less and less frequently. Classical Roots for Medics offers a fresh approach to understanding medical terms by listing their common constituent parts together with their meanings and plentiful examples, allowing complex words to be broken down. Plural forms, opposites and Greek and Latin equivalents are also highlighted in this affordable yet essential resource.
