Review by Booklist Review

This book is a compilation of more than 120 New York Times articles about various medical issues, covering important developments from the past century and a half. The articles are arranged into 22 chapters, each covering a specific medical topic, including AIDS, Alzheimer's Disease, Ethics, Heart Disease, and Public Health. There is a Medicine Timeline as well as an index. This interesting title would be well suited for the circulating collection of most academic or public libraries, where the audience could be practitioners or students interested in popular coverage of the field as well as general readers.--Vnuk, Rebecca Copyright 2010 Booklist
