1.The Greatest Benefit to Mankind: A Medical History of HumanityThe Greatest Benefit to Mankind: A Medical History of Humanity
from W. W. Norton & Company
Price: $13.57

Customer Review:
Roy has an erudite style and a level of detail that makes this book both a joy to read and a reference to use frequently. His references and bibliography alone are very extensive - the kind I would expect in a PhD - even though he claims they are not exhaustive. Clearly, Roy was setting a standard... more info

from Harvard University Press
Price: $13.57

Customer Review:
More illustrations and above all more plentiful and better maps would have made Porter's superlative history of London an unqualified masterpiece. As such, it is still a bloody good book.

It lacks a little more details and depth in some areas and cut down in other areas in which the length makes the reading boring after a while since I have the impression that I keep reading about the same. In general... more info
