Editorial Reviews
Review
 illustrated richly with an encyclopedic collection of most curios and enlightening prints depicting the entire course of the development of radiology in medical practice from the time of the discovery of x-rays and radioactivity from 1895 onward.
-International Journal of Radiation Oncology Biology

 a charming and quirky collection of the familiar and unfamiliar, the old and new, the mundane and bizarre. It is a treasure trove for instructors looking for anecdotes and at the same time, a solid source of historical information.
-Health Physics

If you buy only one book on the history of radiology, then this should probably be it.
-The Radiology History and Heritage Charitable Trust, No. 5, Summer 1994

 a timely book.
-Radiology, September 1994

 a fascinating read.  an excellent book  deserves to be read widely  highly recommended
-The British Journal of Radiology

 it is difficult to fault the author  As visual history, it is truly an eyeful.
-Clinical Nuclear Medicine, Volume 20, May 1995

 a marvelous book!  I can recommend it as interesting, absorbing, and excellent value.
-SCOPE

Anyone with the slightest interest in the application of radiation to medicine will find this volume a fascinating addition to their personal or institutional library. profusely illustrated with compelling images  I strongly recommend this book, which will provide much enjoyable reading and fascinating insight into the development of radiation medicine, imaging, and therapy.
