Recensioner i media

[T]hese six volumes have taught us a great deal about cultural history from prehistory to the present … [A] great deal of profound and innovative knowledge is presented clearly. I therefore recommend every medical historian or healthcare professional to purchase this series in its entirety. After all, one cannot understand the present without knowledge of the past.
