4.0
I loved this book, but it was aimed at those who have little knowledge of medical history. The information presented was a watered-down version of the discovery, so if you happen to know a lot about one of the subjects covered, you'll notice where they simplified the information and condensed it. However, I don't feel like this is necessarily a fault of the book since it isn't supposed to be in-depth on the subjects it covers, instead just presenting a general overview of the history of medicine.
Since I wasn't familiar wiht most of the topics it covered, I found it a delightful read. I loved the pictures it included and the small sections in every chapter about the context around the discovery or other advancements that the discovery spawned. Also, the edition I was reading was a beautiful book.
I'm looking forward to simliar books by these authors!
