Magill's Medical Guide is a  mix of accessibility and depth, providing general readers with an authoritative reference source that helps bridge the gap between medical encyclopedias for professionals and popular self-help guides. It is an up-to-date and easy-to-use compendium of medical information suitable for student research as well as use by general readers, including patients and caregivers.

Provides reliable information in a variety of useful formats including images, videos, and animations, experiments, biographies, definitions, news articles, and a searchable timeline that is updated monthly. 

Today's Science
From Home or the Library
Designed to bridge the gap between the science that students learn in the classroom and the discoveries pushing the boundaries of science today. Updated weekly, it explains important developments in biology, chemistry, the environment, space, physics, and technology. Information is provided in context, clearly explained and abundantly illustrated, so new advances are seen not as inexplicable wonders, but as resulting from the application of the same concepts and principles of investigation that are taught in school.
