Review quotes

"...presents a history of medicine spanning from the Persian Empire to present-day Iran [and] focuses specifically on the history of medicine among the Persian populations…. [A] hidden gem that will be of interest to those curious about the Arab-Islamic world and its contributions to modern medicine…. [W]ritten with a fluidity that makes it easy to read,… this book is a valuable contribution, as the history of "Persian medicine"is often neglected in current history, overlooking that the greatest physicians of the Arabo-Islamic World were of Persian origin."—©Doody’s Review Service, 2023, Alain Touwaide, PhD (Ronin Institute)
