“Perspectives on disease and Illness“ is a 15 book series that shares a common format that first defines the illness in medical terms, and then gives a historical perspective and a description of the condition. A take-charge-of-your-health philosophy is implied as the authors discuss diagnosis and management of the diseases, including possible complications and long-term effects. The key thrust of each book is the advice on living with the condition while school and social situations are targeted, as well as ways of informing peers about special needs. A look at current developments in treatments concludes each book. Short profiles of teens help to explain particular points and personalize the texts. Myths about each disease are highlighted in sidebars scattered throughout. Small, cropped color photos appear frequently. This series will be useful both for reports and personal information.
