\n We know about Hippocrates, the Father of Medicine. But we owe nearly as much to Galen, a physician born in 129 A.D. at the height of the Roman Empire. Galen’s acute diagnoses of patients, botanical wisdom, and studies of physiology were recorded in numerous books, handed down through the Middle Ages and Renaissance. Not least, Galen passed on the medical tradition of respect for life. In this fascinating biography for young people, Jeanne Bendick brings Galen’s Roman world to life with the clarity, humor, and outstanding content we enjoyed in Archimedes and the Door of Science. An excellent addition to the home, school and to libraries.<\/p>\n

\"Galen\"\"Galen\" <\/p>\n

Imagine getting one’s training as a doctor, by becoming a trainer and doctor of gladiators! Imagine pursuing one’s medical education through perilous sea and land journeys! Imagine being the physician to Roman emperors! <\/p>\n

Galen and the Gateway to Medicine could most accurately be described, then, as an adventure book — an adventure of medicine and philosophy not in some abstract sense, but as lived by the man whose adventure it was. It is written for the young, but as with Bendick’s Archimedes, it is written so well, that teachers and parents will also delight in it and learn from it. That, as C.S. Lewis once said, is the sign of a truly good children’s book. <\/p>\n
