MEDIA REVIEWS

'...a rich collection of insightful essays...The collection is an excellent contribution to Irish medical history and what is particularly striking about it is that the majority of chapters are concerned with the experiences of ordinary patients and practitioners. Importantly, the volume is further evidence of scholarly movement away from the 'great men' tradition and instititutional histories of the past.' - Laura Kelly, National University of Ireland, Galway, Social History of Medicine
