Description :
Imagine getting one's training as a doctor, by becoming a trainer and doctor of
gladiators! Imagine pursuing one's medical education through perilous sea and
land journeys! Imagine being the physician to Roman emperors! Galen and the
Gateway to Medicine could most accurately be described, then, as an
adventure book -- an adventure of medicine and philosophy not in some
abstract sense, but as lived by the man whose adventure it was. It is written for
the young, but as with Bendick's Archimedes, it is written so well, that teachers
and parents will also delight in it and learn from it. That, as C.S. Lewis once
said, is the sign of a truly good children's book. - From the Introduction by
Benjamin D. Wiker Read more Book Features Essay questions included in the
