Kill or Cure: An Illustrated History of Medicine

Author: Steve Parker
Stars: 5
Review by: Mandy Apgar

Good, very good. Another quality book from DK, the publishers of Eyewitness books. Told with clarity and purpose with plenty of photos to accompany, it is basically an adult level (but easily readable and understandable) account of the history of medicine and medical practice going all up to today. Very well done and presented neatly, no exaggeration of facts, and also respectful to the founders of medicine and those that made advances along the way - although I wished more would've been devoted to battlefield medicine other sections being so full sort of made up for it.
