Truly Legendary!

It spans some of the greatest medical scientists in history, with complementing prose. I was fascinated and left wanting more...as we know their to be so many wonderful scientists in the world, and notably in the world past. My favorites of course, Pasteur, Banting, Laennec, Lister. Unfortunately, Marie Currey wasn't in this book, except in the author's note as well as many others...however, there were plenty of good ones. I recommend this to anyone interested in the history of medicine in a storybook fashion. Awesome!
