Reviews

Furdell has produced an impressive and compassionate history of an old disease that continues to affect many new lives today. It would be a useful text to assign in an upper-division or graduate-level history of medicine course. Lynda Payne, University of Missouri, Kansas City (Bull. Hist. Med., 2010, 84: 518-519)
