The best, now better May 12, 2008 As usual, Harrison's stands out as one of the top medical books available, only this time it does so with a new light. With added topics, a vastly increased image bank, extensive review, and much more, Harrison's Principles of Internal Medicine is, more then ever, a must-have for both students and professionals. 16th edition was great, but this edition was far beyond any expectations.
Great book, good updates April 29, 2008 Harrison has continued its tradition in providing the best class of textbooks in this new edition. Definitely worth the amount to go for the new edition. The DVD that comes with the book has some interesting material too. Still trying to learn about all the great aspects of this book. Thumbs up all the way
The ageless classic continues to be the best April 26, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Harrison's continues to be the best book for medical students learning Internal Medicine and a complete reference book for practicing physicians. The new formatting and colored charts and images are the best so far , compared to previous editions , this edition really enhances the learning experience. I hope that any future edition of the DVD will have better navigation links. The textbook is excellent; the DVD leaves room for improvement. Overall: a must have in any clinician's library.
