• This is a well-thought-out and -produced book...Fifty-six historically significant health workers have an average of just under six pages devoted to biographical information and lists of works by and about each person.... The aim of this volume is to explore the work of less familiar individuals from all parts of the world. Most of the persons included are not found in nonspecialist literature and are not easily found in many libraries. Among the medical practitioners covered here are Miguel Enrique Bustamente, one of Mexico's leading public health officials; Maude E. Callen, an African American nurse midwife; and Carlos Montezuma, one of the first American Indians to receive an M.D. This kind of coverage makes the book a valuable addition not only to academic libraries but also to public and high-school libraries where students regularly need such information for school assignments.
