1. The Greatest Benefit to Mankind: A Medical History of Humanity The Greatest Benefit to Mankind: A Medical History of Humanity
from W. W. Norton & Company
Price: $13.57

Customer Review:
Roy has an erudite style and a level of detail that makes this book both a joy to read and a reference to use frequently. His references and bibliography alone are very extensive - the kind I would expect in a PhD - even though he claims they are not exhaustive. Clearly, Roy was setting a standard... more info

Ror Porter's excellent book places the history of madness within specific social contexts.

4. The Cambridge Illustrated History of Medicine The Cambridge Illustrated History of Medicine
from Cambridge University Press
Price: $37.80

Customer Review:
The book is very nice with color pictures and a extend narrative about the topics. It lacks a little more details and depth in some areas and cut down in other areas in which the length makes the reading boring after a while since I have the impression that I keep reading about the same. In general... more info

7. A History of London A History of London
from Macmillan

Customer Review:
If your interests lie in how many tons of wheat England exported in 1532, this is the book for you. If you looking for a flowing social history of London with interesting side-stories and anecdotes (e.g. "fun reading"), stay away from this borefest.

from Harvard University Press
Price: $13.57

Customer Review:
More illustrations and above all more plentiful and better maps would have made Porter's superlative history of London an unqualified masterpiece. As such, it is still a bloody good book. The late Roy Porter was not only a brilliant historian, above all of the 18th century for which his enthusiasm... more info
