	Mind Maps in Medicine - A framework for learning Medicine and a fast revision aid - MIND MAPS IN MEDICINE provides a review of General Medicine using mind maps to cover the major systems and diseases.

The book has the support of Tony Buzan, the originator of MIND MAPS. For over twenty years I have used mind maps for learning and Medicine, particularly, lends itself to mind mapping. We have been delighted to receive comments from students in the UK, USA, and India, and also established consultants wishing to review general medicine have found the book a fast and useful way to do it.

	Mind Maps in Pathology - This invaluable pathology study aid adopts the proven concept of Mind Mapping - invented by Tony Buzan - which results in increased confidence, saves precious studying time and gives the student a sense of achievement. Conventional textbooks present information in such a way that the key words are not always obvious to the student. Research shows that the key words are important in learning as they create and reinforce learning pathways. The key words in this book are presented in the context of pathways which connect to form maps of each topic. The information on each topic is thus connected to provide a framework for revision and learning. Studies show that revision of key words creates and strengthens words associations and helps the brain to process further information on the topic faster. Psychologists call this effect the 'semantic prime'. The Mind Maps provide an overview of the subjects and are designed to 'prime' the brain to remember the information.

	Mind Maps in Surgery - "Mind Maps in Surgery" uses a concise and visually stimulating method, Mind Maps[registered], to teach the reader the main topics in surgery.

In addition to covering the major types of surgery, the book contains chapters on the management of acutely ill patients and surgical patients, which is of vital importance for the reader.Instead of presenting the information in seemingly endless, lengthy text, the book is thoughtfully and carefully structured so that it contains only the essential knowledge. It is aimed especially at undergraduate medical students doing their surgical rotations, as a wonderful study aid for their final exams.
