Description:
------------
  I am writing a medicine textbook aimed at medical students. Medical
students are always having to buy many different books for different topics
and time of study. While it has been tempting to write the textbook in the
format of a course structure, it is instead going to be written as a
reference text. This way, all medical schools around the world are able to
appreciate the textbook. Since this book is written with medical schools in
mind, the knowledge would be based more on the basic concepts of medicine,
and not focusing on any specialization.

This type of book has been started at wikibooks
(http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Wikiversity:School_of_Medicine) but this does
not seem to be going anywhere, and thus does not seem to be very useful in
the construction of this book.

The structure of this textbook is in volumes, with each volume focusing on a
different aspect of medicine. The textbook is written up from scratch and
thus is based on no current textbook.


Other Software Required:
------------------------
  The project is currently written in LaTex, and thus should be accessible to
everyone.
