An interesting book on medical experimentation from pre-nineteenth century to the present. . . . The primary sources that the editor chose will be useful to researchers. . . This will be a useful addition to college and university libraries that have programs that require students to use original source material. * Booklist * Indeed, while intended as a reference book and jumping-off point for researchers interested in exploring the subject of human medical experimentation, this title makes for fascinating reading for laypeople as well. VERDICT For most public and academic libraries. * Library Journal * The book offers a comprehensive index system, scholarly contributions, and essential historical perspectives and summaries. . . . This captivating volume is recommended for public and academic libraries. * ARBAonline * The book is well written and informative, and it is not full of jargon that only a professional would understand. The entries are concise, and for the most part, objective, given the subject matter. I know of no other reference work, nor could I find any, covering medical experimentation on humans from its inception to present day since the majority are dedicated to a particular time period, person, or experiment, and none makes an attempt at objectivity. It is definitely a worthwhile addition for public and academic libraries. * Reference Reviews * Covers the topic with 122 entries from Galen of Pergamom (131 CE – circa 201 CE) through Trovan in Nigeria (1996-2009). The book also provides introductory, timeline and reference material. * Journal of Clinical Research *
