From Booklist
Quotations do more than add wit to speeches. They offer a glimpse into the development of ideas throughout history and provide differing points of view on a subject.
Medicine in Quotations, first published in 2000, contains 3,500 quotations, 500 of which are new to this edition. The editors are physicians. Huth is the editor emeritus of the
Annals of Internal Medicine, and Murray is professor emeritus and former dean of medicine at Dalhousie University.
The quotations are organized alphabetically by subject and numbered consecutively throughout the book. The author, date, and source of each quotation are included. An "Author-Citation Index" contains the bibliographic citations. A subject index makes it easy for readers to locate material. Among the gems that users will find here are Michel de Montaigne's remark that "Sometimes it is the body that surrenders to age, sometimes, too it is the mind; and I have seen enough whose brains were enfeebled before their stomach and legs." And Henry George Miller's "The most valuable diagnostic instrument is the passage of time."
Medicine in Quotations provides quotations on medical and scientific subjects that do not appear in general quotation books such as Bartlett's Familiar Quotations (Little Brown, 2002).It will be a useful addition to academic library collections supporting health-sciences and history-of-medicine programs. Large public libraries with extensive quotation collections will want to consider it also. Barbara Bibel
