No ge tenido tiempo de leerlo aún, pero según otras críticas, debe ser fascinante. La calidad del papel es buena, pero las ilustraciones para el precio que ofrece Amazon y siendo un libro de bolsillo son fantásticas.

This is a most unusual paperbck. It is well bound and printed on heavy, smooth paper which gives crisp print and illustrations in glowing colour, which is superior to that used in many hardbacks. This makes it a delight to handle and really enhances one's reading experience.The contents are a fascinating miscellany of explorations and illustrations exploring the concepts of the body, medicine and world view of the middle ages. It is extremely entertaining and aimed at the general reader but will also fascinate the specialist too.It does rather concentrate on the middle of the middle ages -11th to 14th centuries- and makes no attempt to impose any chronological order, but does maintain a lively, well illustrated narrative throughout.I think this would make a good Christmas present for oneself or anyone else who has the slightest interest in history.

I saw this book reviewed in the Times of London. The subject is right up my interest alley providing a slice of medieval art, medicine, medieval life practicality.The author weaves art history, barber-surgery, monks and priests, doctors of medical philosophy, lifestyles, and encyclic remedies to create a shadow box of 1300 years of Medieval medical practice.Medical practice as the reader would recognize doesn’t exist. Death and near death was everywhere. Plagues, cholera, typhoid, and typhus were eventualities that slayed up to half the populations and to be always anticipated tomorrow or the next season. Now, consider that the circulatory system is not discovered until the 17th century. The heart till then was a spiritual, and independent organ that pumped blood into a skin sack. The internal operations of the human body, bacteria, virus, cancer, heart disease, diabetes, etc. were of course a technical mystery.As mysterious as the biological man was, the healthy, sick, dying and injured affected the whole of society and got a lot of attention. The motto seems to be ‘Do the best we can do with what we have; life is a matter of fate' and God that will decide. Health matters were every bit as important if not more significant than today.It’s a fun read. The book itself is primo quality … thick paper, high-quality images, bound silk bookmark.The book is not available in a Kindle edition at this time and that is kind of a disappointment. The authors range of vocabulary and new words make it a perfect candidate for a Kindle book and the lookup features. It might be worth rereading the book in the Kindle format. It’s not possible to come up with a book as attractive as the first edition
