This novel not only gives us a great historical look at Galen's life, but gives a great view of Roman times as well. Readers see a child in school, a rich man with slaves, soldiers at war, untreatable plagues, Mediterranean geography, and more. A host of illustrations augment the story. Same author and format as Archimedes and the Door of Science.
Publisher's Description of Galen and the Gateway to Medicine
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 to Science. An excellent addition to the home, school and to libraries.
