Diseases and People series.
These books discuss each condition's history, detection and diagnosis, treatment, social implications, and current research. Attention is also given to outlining challenges to improving the health of sufferers. A few careless errors in Schizophrenia detract from an otherwise informative text. The serviceable black-and-white photos often bear little relevance to the text. Reading list, timeline, websites. Bib., glos., ind. [Review covers these Diseases and People titles: Eating Disorders and Schizophrenia.]

Diseases and People series.
An opening "profile" (six questions and answers) is followed by chapters on history, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment, and research. Ebola emphasizes the many unanswered questions about the virus. Stories of sufferers humanize the facts. The writing is serviceable, but grainy black-and-white photos add little. A second Q-and-A section concludes the book. Reading list, timeline, websites. Glos., ind. [Review covers these Diseases and People titles: Stress and Anxiety-Related Disorders and Ebola Virus.]

Question-and-answer "Profiles" precede chapters detailing the history, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment, and future research of each disorder. Case histories add variety to the facts, but the black-and-white photographs are dull, often misplaced and not always adequately labeled. The thin material in Carpal Tunnel results in a particularly repetitious book. Bib., glos., ind.
