While note intended to be a curriculum textbook, but exceptionally well written, organized and presented, "Understanding Osteoporosis: An Introduction for Patients and Caregivers" should be considered essential and informative reading for anyone who is dealing with the medical condition of osteoporosis in themselves, a friend or family member, or who are charged with caregiving responsibilities of patient or client with osteoporosis. While unhesitatingly and unreservedly recommended for personal, professional, community, and academic library Health/Medicine collections, it should be noted for personal reading lists.
