Omnigraphics' sourcebooks of reference information are distinguished both by their uniform red-sided hardcovers and their in-depth information which will prove particularly important for health library holdings at the college level. New books are added to the series monthly: among the latest recommendations: Joyce Brennfleck Shannon's Muscular Dystrophy Sourcebook (078080676X, $78.00), revealing the symptoms and treatment of the disorder; Amy L. Sutton's Arthritis Sourcebook (0780800670, $78.00), covering the over 100 rheumatic diseases which affect the joints and cause pain; Karen Bellenir's Genetic Disorders Sourcebook (0780807-421, $78.00), appearing in its third edition to update details on the rapidly changing world of genetic disorder treatment options; Dawn Matthews' Child Abuse Sourcebook (0780807057, $78.00), covering various forms of child abuse from physical to emotional and neglect, and discussing both short- and long-term effects; and Karen Bellenir's Contagious Diseases Sourcebook (0780807367, $78.00), surveying different types of contagious illnesses and how they spread and are controlled. Excellent references, all.
