Bibliografie dizionari

Nel ristretto ambito dei dizionari "tecnici" si viene a porre in primo piano questo Dizionario medico nella nuova edizione completamente riveduta e aggiornata e corredata da cd-rom con ricerca full-text, redatta con la nota serietà professionale di Maria Laura Petrelli. L'opera si rivolge in particolare a medici e studenti di medicina, ma anche a biologi, psicologi, farmacisti, come a traduttori e interpreti nei congressi scientifici. Ciascuna delle due parti dell'opera è stata elaborata separatamente e quindi non costituisce un semplice "rovesciamento" dell'altra, dando così le più ampie garanzie di autonomia e correttezza. Il volume contiene oltre 50.000 lemmi.

Questo dizionario offre uno strumento di rapida consultazione, in cui le numerose voci, aggiornate con le più recenti scoperte, sono espresse in forma chiara ed esauriente e, quando necessario, ampliate e collegate ad altri argomenti. L'opera presenta i termini da ricercare in lingua inglese con traduzione immediata in italiano e descrizione scientifica del significato. Una versione utile non solo ai professionisti che già lavorano in questo campo, ma anche agli studenti che cominciano il loro viaggio nel mondo della cosmesi.
