Carl Ludwig, Begründer der messenden Experimentalphysiologie 1816–1895

glossary of technical terms, a series of extracts of famous medical texts from the Ebers Papyrus to Henri Dunant, a table of contents, an index and six line drawings. The author goes out of his way to point out in his Foreword that the book is not for the expert. On the other hand, it seems to me much too detailed for the school child. The trouble with German scholars is their inability to be concise. Thus, although this book can be warmly recommended to the adult reader, I doubt whether the unfortunate school child will be able to digest its many facts, however wellintentioned the author might be to include them.
