This is one of the best nursing history books available. It covers the period of nursing from pre-history through modern ages. Because the period of time covered is so vast, that very period is both the book's greatest strength and its weakness.

As the subtitle of the book implies, it is an illustrated history book. Because the time period is so vast, the illustrations are taken from museums, libraries, and other public access collections. As a result, the images are somhow...familiar. And, because it is a history book which covers such a wide range, it must deal with very specific aspects of each period, rather than an in-depth account of any one period. As such, we are given the history of nursing itself. This is a wonderful history, and the illustrations, although many may be familiar, are diverse enough to please even the most casual reader. I highly recommend it.

The only alternative to this book, in my opinion, is a book by one Michael Zwerdling, titled "Postcards of Nursing: A Worldwide Tribute," also available on Amazon. Postcards of Nursing focuses on the 20th century and, instead of being an illustrated history book, is really anannotated art book. The art is separate from the text, something which highlights the graphics. The images themselves are unusual in that they are taken from postcards, and, frankly, are not what I expected from postcard images. The images, both art and photo, are entirely unfamiliar and, in my opinion amazing. Also, instead of concentrating on nursing itself, though there is a great amount of nuring history, most of it deals more with the articulation of nursing with society: entertainment, royalty, art styles of the age, social issues, war, and other items of pubic interest.
