Customer Reviews

superb black and white pictorial history

this quite magnificent volume touches upon various aspects of principally american medical history. i am rather interested in this topic for professional reasons and found the layout and previously unseen photos extremely useful. the topics such as: war medicine; a day in the life of a country doctor; heroes in medicine and so on give the book a very human touch. recommended reading if only for the great photos.

Medicine's Great Journey

This is an extremely informative book, packed with high-quality photographs. The text is geared toward the layperson; it is not a technical book. It is historically accurate and an enjoyable read for anyone interested in the history of medicine.
