The item came as described and was in great condition while being reasonably priced. The seller sent it without delay which was great because I needed it quickly. I would definately buy from this person again.
Great Book September 13, 2009

This book brings out the major steps and who was responsible for them from the time of Hippocrates forward. It is interesting and contains a review at the end of each chapter. The best part is that it holds the kids' interest, it isn't just a dry book filled with information. We are enjoying this book in our homeschool this year. Though it is written from a Christian perspective and does bring forth information about the faith of the men/women involved, it is not overly religious. For people of the Christian faith, it points out how faith influenced the people who are discussed, but the history is sound, and provides a good background in those major developments of medical history whether or not you believe in Christianity.

This book is excellent, I read it in one night and loved it! Being in the medical field, I have studied many facts and theories, the history of how these things came to be always interested me, but with so much to remember, I never had time to explore the history. This book packs in major medical events in history withour any dragging on or babbling.
These stories bring medical discoveries to life! They are written in a clear, concise, easy-to-read manner. I read it for fun, but it could be used for educational purposes, as it is informative and contains short quizzes after each story.

Great for anyone interested in learning about History of Medicine. I used most recently with my 7th grader. He is so intrigued by every chapter that he insists on reading it all aloud to me. I am learning more then I ever realized about ancient medicine. I highly recommend this textbook!
 purchasers should be aware that this is written from a Christian perspective February 19, 2008

This book is not generally advertised as being told from a Christian perspective and published by a Christian company. That information should be more effectively advertised.
Having said that, I really like this book. It's not overtly "preachy" and has great content. I've learned more about the History of Medicine while reading this to my kids than I ever knew. The content is not dumbed down for children, but it is easy to digest. It's told in a fun and interesting voice.
The author makes at least one (arbitrary and out of context) reference to the chapter's featured scientist's love of God. The chapter about Pasteur also discusses Darwin, and somehow relates Pasteur's discoveries to disproving Darwin's theories. The relation is a stretch and a completely unnecessary reference to Darwin and evolution.
