Opening with a poem by Michael Rosen, a firm favourite of young and old alike, this book sets out on a journey, from ancient Greece to the World Health Organisation (WHO). The well-known individuals, and the not so well known, are covered in clear and concise sections: Emergency and Intensive Care; the Operating Theatre; Discoveries and Inventions and so on. Dates, and a potted writeup are given for everyone covered. In quite a few instances quotes from the individual themselves are included. Pages giving definitions for everything from anaesthetic and circulation to insulin and sterile make it easily accessible. Black and white throughout, the illustrations, lay out and varying fonts make this book a fun and enjoyable read.
