Univ. of Mississippi, Jackson. Brandon/Hill Medical List first-purchase and minimal-core
selection (#486). Major textbook includes new techniques for learning about cellular
and molecular physiology. Uses types of fonts: larger font is
fundamental data, the smaller is data for immediate discussion and for deeper study.
