The recent copyright means that information is current. For example, the 2004-2005 vaccination shortage is mentioned, as well as China's creation of a new type of SARS vaccination in 2006. There are a few photographs and illustrations, and one grayscale map is difficult to read. Anxiety Disorders has no illustrations or photographs besides the photo of a girl biting her nails. Other than this oversight, the book provides solid information on different kinds of anxiety disorders and how the disease is treated. It is the third series book to be co-written by the authors, and the text is very readable and clear. In the list of resources, popular Web sites and even a chat site are given. Other series books cover cancer, heart disease, STDs, and Tourette Syndrome, among other topics.« less
