COPY ISBN
An update to the 2007 first edition, which was written to promote recognition of significant (and often under-recognized) figures, this book offers revised and expanded biographical essays on 52 pharmaceutical pioneers and 20 American Pharmaceutical Association founders. Each multipage profile, organized alphabetically by surname, contains helpful chronological or thematic subheadings. Quotations, black-and-white artifact and portrait illustrations, and extensive further-reading lists offer deeper insight into each figure and additional research leads. Essays are information-packed yet accessible and engaging.
VERDICT Rich and insightful; for pharmaceutical and medical history collections.
