Industry Reviews
The world's leading expert on the history of American surgery, Rutkow (surgery, Univ. of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey) is noted for his two-volume History of Surgery in the United States, 1775-1900 (Norman Pub., 1988-92) and Surgery: An Illustrated History (Mosby Year-Book, 1993). His current work builds on his last, updating the history into the 1990s and focusing on the dramatic leaps forward in surgical technology in the United States. Rutkow has included time lines, linking historic events to developments in surgery, and an excellent bibliography to make this work a useful reference source. The images and the compelling stories he chooses to tell will make the book appeal to everyone from teenagers to adults. Highly recommended for all libraries. Eric D. Albright, Duke Univ.
