Book Review of Exploring the History of Medicine: From the Ancient Physicians of Pharaoh to Genetic Engineering (Exploring (New Leaf Press))

I gave this book a 3 rating because Tiner does not include a history of eastern medicine. The Chinese, Indians, and other Asians used many medical techniques. Yes, the author begins with Egypt, but western physicians are just now admitting that eastern techniques are legitimate medical treatments. I will still use this book for home school, but broaden its scope. Perhaps New Leaf Press would back a new edition with added chapters.
