Description
The history of medicine is as old as the history of human civilisation. In The Medical Book, popular science writer Clifford A. Pickover explores 250 milestone discoveries in medicine that span more than 12,000 years. Whether writing on 'hard science' topics such as DNA structure, reverse transcriptase and AIDS, polymerase chain reaction, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), or ideas from the medical fringe such as witch doctors, patent medicines, bloodletting, and near-death experiences, Pickover brings insight and acumen to the broad spectrum of medical studies and makes it understandable to all readers. This leatherbound volume is abundantly illustrated in full colour with clinical and historical art.

Great dealer. I still haven't received my purchase, but it's really not the dealers fault. There were warehousing issues. Yes. It does happen. Meanwhile simplybestprices10to20daysshipping kept me apprised and even offered me the option of cancelling my order or waiting for its arrival. They gave me an estimate, which was spot on and now my purchase is on its way across continent and ocean to me. I am pretty sure all will be well and wanted to get this feedback in before time expires. I Recommend

I bought it for my mum's birthday and she loves it. It has good information and images explaining things in excellent detail. It arrived well packaged and in new condition as advertised. Simplybestprices was the cheapest I found on the internet, so I went with them. The only negative was with the shipping, not the product. I ordered in Dec 2024 and it took many weeks before getting shipping details and then the delivery date kept changing and moving later. It eventuallly arrived early Feb.

Buy your books here. These people ship things in a box. I can't even explain how great that was to get my new book in a box. Every big bookseller on ebay ships to you in a plastic bag. And if you ask them to ship it to you in a box they get really stupid. They can't do it. "A box? What are you talking about? A box, preposterous!" This seller is where I'm looking first when I come to eBay for a book. Shame on all you sellars anywhere shipping books in plastic bags and bubble wrap sleeves.
