      La segunda edición de Terminología aplicada a las ciencias de la salud se ha actualizado para seguir ayudando a los estudiantes a superar sus dificultades en la comprensión de la terminología médica. Después de trabajar con este libro, el estudiante habrá adquirido las competencias para asimilar con mayor eficacia y emplear correctamente los términos técnicos utilizados en las ciencias de la salud, acudiendo a su etimología grecolatina, pero evitando ahondar en tecnicismos lingüísticos alejados de las necesidades prácticas de los estudiantes de ciencias. La obra tiene un enfoque eminentemente práctico, basado en el análisis estructural de las palabras, y todos los capítulos contienen ejercicios cuyas soluciones se encuentran al final del libro, de modo que el estudiante puede comprobar los resultados y aclarar dudas por sí mismo en cualquier momento. El manual contiene, además, un glosario de raíces y afijos grecolatinos ordenados alfabéticamente según su pronunciación en español y, para complementar el estudio, la bibliografía incluye tanto libros de texto como diccionarios y sitios de Internet.
