This review is from: Trachoma: A Blinding Scourge from the Bronze Age to the Twenty-first Century (Hardcover)
It is truly amazing to have a scientifically credible accounting of trachoma, one of the historical scourges of mankind - assembled into a visually beautiful text that combines art, science and very readable insights into a single package. This is a wonderful achievement and a magnificent book.

This review is from: Trachoma: A Blinding Scourge from the Bronze Age to the Twenty-first Century (Hardcover)
This book is amazing! I had no idea! I thought it was going to be another trachoma handbook or clinical guide for those working in the trenches, but it's a history book that reads like a novel! Hugh Taylor discusses how trachoma influenced ancient and modern cultures, armies, and health systems. The photos of the early trachoma pioneers and mentors are priceless. This book is well worth a place in any medical library, highly recommended.

This review is from: Trachoma: A Blinding Scourge from the Bronze Age to the Twenty-first Century (Hardcover)
This is a fascinating story. Hugh Taylor has a lifetime of experience fighting trachoma and I doubt anyone else could have produced such an authoritative yet compellingly readable account. Beautifully illustrated throughout, this is a perfect example of a medical book that really needs to be a book. It can be dipped into and enjoyed by medical and non-medical people alike. Highly recommended.
