Description
"Innovative, well-conceived, and with real pedagogical, intellectual and historical value--a very rare combination of merits in the ocean of available options for teaching medical terminology. An additional advantage of the book is the engaging, down-to-earth style of presentation. The abundance of curious facts about ancient medical practice and modern day references will appeal to the savvy and to-the-point modern pre-med student who does not have much time for highfalutin speech but who is also curious for new, less known, information. Wholeheartedly recommended." --Svetla Slaveva-Griffin, Department of Classics, Florida State University
