Review
Canadian Bulletin of Medical History, 2003
For wannabe anaesthetists who would like some background on their aspirations this is a must. For the rest of us, this can definitely be something that is entertaining to dip into.
Student BMJ
It is imaginative in concept and successful in execution. Buy it, dip into it, and enjoy it.
British Journal of Anaesthesia
The short biographies are well written and by reading them it is possible to put flesh on the bare bones of history. Many of the names are still alive and some are still practising anaesthetists. There is a wealth of information in these concise biographies.
Medical Sciences History, Volume 18, 2002
[I] was riveted...read it from cover to cover. It is beautifully printed. I have no doubt it will raise the profile of our specialty - what a brilliant idea.
Reader's Review
you do not have to be an anaesthetist to enjoy sampling it
George Biro, The Newsletter of the Australian Society for the History of Medicine
It is an interesting and valuable volume, which should be housed on the shelves of every hospital anaesthetic department... this handbook is easy to dip into as light relief between cases, when preparing for case sessions and while revising for examinations!
Journal of Medical Biography, 2003
Maltby has filled a gap in anaesthetic literature...a very readable text.
Anaesthesia and Intensive Care, December 2002
This volume contains much valuable and carefully researched information for the medical historian, besides being a fascinating read for general readers, whether medical or non-medical.
Retired Fellows Newsletter, December 2002
fascinating personal descriptions...I commend it to old and young anaesthesiologists.
Anaesthesia & Analgesia, 2003
a fascinating read...one of the residents at the reviewer's hospital was so overwhelmed by the entertaining nature of the book that...he promptly ordered a copy for himself.
European Academy of Anaesthesiology Newsletter
Well written and fully illustrated...It provides information that is always interesting...no one could read this book without learning something [it] deserves a place in all departmental libraries.
Canadian Journal of Anesthesia
A fascinating read.
European Academy of Anaesthesiology
Richly illustrated...a pleasure to read.
Journal of the Norwegian Medical Association
