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?

the vast amounts of knowledge within this book make it a great read. If you are interested in medicine I suggest that you purchase this book or at least another great history of medicine book. I am glad I purchased this book as after reading it I felt that such a book was necessary to keep on my shelf for as long as I have a bookshelf.
