Although the operation of each instrument is adequately explained, human drama dominates physics here, and readers should be delighted with accounts of René Laënnec’s inordinate modesty (which led directly to his invention of the stethoscope) and the vicious battles over patent rights to William Morton’s anaesthetic inhaler. . . . [A]n extensive glossary, a medical time line, and an index enhance this offering’s usefulness to report writers.” —The Bulletin Also profiles Santorio Santorio (thermometer), Antony van Leeuwenhoek (microscope), Wilhelm Roentgen (X ray), Marie Curie (radiation therapy), and Willem Einthoven (electrocardiograph).
