best balanced history, 4 Feb 2004

By	Carlos Vazquez Quintana "cvq" (Linares- Spain) - See all my reviews

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.
