Professor of Anatomy, University of Otago, New Zealand
This book is recommended for its scholarship and the liberal
inclusion of appropriate illustrations that only add to its
palatability. Anatomists, surgeons, and medical historians will
find the book both interesting and informative.
—Clinical Anatomy 23:319 (2010)This is an excellent little book
written by Professor Stringer. ... well researched summary of
'Eponyms' related to the anatomy and surgery of the liver, bile
ducts and pancreas. The book is an easy read ... liberally
illustrated throughout with photographs ... and there are a number
of amusing anecdotes.
Useful for anyone interested in the history of medicine. However, I
would also recommend this book to students as the little piece of
anatomy or surgery at the beginning of each section is of
educational value.
An excellent read for one's leisure time or when travelling for the
student of medicine, the anatomist, the general physician, the
general surgeon or the hepatobiliary specialist. I enjoyed the book
immensely and can recommend it thoroughly.
—Professor Roy Spence, Ulster Medical Journal, 2010; 79: 106-8This
delightful book is packed with interesting anecdotes. The
illustrations are sharp and in full colour.
This book will be enjoyed for interesting vignettes discovered when
browsing during occasional moments of enforced inactivity; it could
help pass the time on a journey or entertain during
convalescence.
Keep it away from examiners though, as it would be all too easy to
encourage discussion of the interesting lives and neglect the
important surgical principles of the people remembered by their
eponymous fame.—Colin Johnson, Annals of the Royal College of
Surgeons of England, 2011; 93: 88-92
