Product Description

Review

"This is a dangerous book: once you start reading it you cannot stop." Focus on Alternative and Complimentary Therapies, Volume 7 (2) "Rarely is a book such a pleasure to review. The list of contributors reads like a list of the medical greats of recent times." April 2002 "Apart from being beautifully presented, this book is a real treasure chest ... It is always a fantastic privilege to be asked to review a book of this magnitude and calibre, not least because this assures ownership of a weighty volume which is, in fact, very reasonably priced. As a resource of teaching in medicine, nursing or allied health professions this book will be invaluable and it will be an essential order for the medical or nursing library. " Journal of Advanced Nursing "Right from the very first few pages of this beautifully bound volume, it rapidly becomes clear that one is reading the definitive guide to medidicine ... At less than the price of a good meal out for two, the OCM will have pride of place on your bookshelf and will provide many entertaining hours of relaxation." Essential Medical World "This book contains a wealth of information on medicine and its history." International Journal of Adolescent Mental Health

5.0 out of 5 stars best balanced history, 4 Feb 2004
By Carlos Vazquez Quintana "cvq" (Linares- Spain) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
For me this is the best Encyclopedia about Medicine I have managed, ad I have read some, mainly in Spanish, whose Encyclopedias are, or were, characterized by peaks of brilliant passages but usually irregular, and French, that I find too much discursive as American books suffer many times of lack of the raw material: the History of anything in itself. Of course there are many ways to approach such a huge subject. There are big Encyclopedias consistent of several volumes and books of all sizes, and if you have money enough, perhaps you can buy originals of Vesalio, Miguel Servet or Leonardo Da Vinci, so easily you can prefer another class of work, but I find this is ideal, very well balanced and illustrated and with a good relation quality/ price, a product very own I think of the British editorials that seems to specialize in this class of books.
