Good news! The folks at Elsevier Books are allowing us to offer free sample chapters from loads of their books to users of this site. You are free to save these chapters to your own computer and print them out for your own personal use.

Currently, we have chapters from 51 books in the following fields: Anatomy, Cardiology, Clinical medicine, Embryology, Genetics, Histology, Immunology, Microbiology, Pathology, Pharmacology and Physiology. We hear they are planning to offer these free sample chapters for all their new books on publication, so we hope to add loads more new chapters soon. But, please remember that they are for the personal use of visitors to this site, so please don't go making multiple copies or distributing the pdfs to huge lists of email addresses! And, if you really like the sample chapter, you can always buy the book online at http://intl.elsevierhealth.com/ or recommend it to the librarian at your medical school.
