"After a considerable period, we are at last presented with a introductory text which does not patronise the undergraduate student with over-simple explanations nor overwhelm with theory and specialist jargon. Seale and Pattison provide an interesting, well written and imaginatively illustrated book, abounding in historical drawings andphotographs. It is full of lively discussions and offers thoroughly useful information about some of the many forms of medical knowledge and medical practice." - A.N.Z.J.S.
