| Vilardell Digestive Endoscopy in the Second Millennium Reviews"This book indisputably provides the most comprehensive integration of the global history of endoscopy ever published. A nice book and also a valuable resource for all those who practice and teach digestive endoscopy. This book should surely help us not to forget the passion and love of their work that guided the pioneers of digestive endoscopy, and also to remember that we need the same passion and love in our daily activity as endoscopists have."--Digestive and Liver Disease "This is a beautifully produced and meticulously researched book on the evolution and impact of endoscopy on the digestive tract in the last 100 years. The author tells a fascinating story using meticulous, fine brush strokes to paint a large picture. The complete history is provided by lavish visuals... It is a work of fine scholarship. The book is comprehensive and a visual delight with numerous historical color depictions of instruments, orginial articles, and the inventors and physicians who pioneered digestive endoscopy. This is a comprehensive labor of love describing the evolution of digestive endoscopy. The text is well written and the illustrations are outstanding. Those interested in the history or medicine, and gastroenterology in particular, will find this a treasure trove and a delight."--Doody's Book Reviews |
