The perfect deal,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Medicine Across Cultures: History and Practice of Medicine in Non-Western Cultures (Science Across Cultures: The History of Non-Western Science) (Hardcover)
Book in perfect conditions. Arrived earlier than scheduled. Expensive (very), but worth it for the scholars, the scientist.
