This is the best general textbook that I have found. (Ackerknecht's is old and assusmes too much historical and cultural background; Bettmann's is even older, and more fun than accurate; Rhodes' is too British for most students.) Most history of medicine is written for readers learned in history or medicine, and Magner is unusual in addressing the actual student and the curious general reader. Magner has obviously taught a real class, to real students. Unfortunately, the publisher is apparently accustomed to sticking it to medical students, who may bear crippling loans, but can expect to make decent money some day. For liberal-arts students, the price is cruel. Why not an affordable paperback, which would be very widely adopted?By Martin Berger
Got the PDF of her book. I am still reading it, as I wanted information on the evolution of medical sciences through time. I love what I read to this point and looking forward for the rest of the book.By Amazon Customer
Descriptions and stories give insight to cultural context and make the whole read enjoyable while the migration of healer practices from paleolithic to present show that graduate migration from sorcery to science (with sorcery and magic never disappearing from the mix).
Thank you for sharing your knowledge :)
