A historical review of the description and treatment of lung cancer, designed as a tool for medical researchers and practitioners, but also accessible to non-medical readers who are versed in modern scientific concepts. It presents and discusses source material from as early as the 16th century (Agricola, Paracelsus), including excerpts from texts, reproductions of book pages, drawings, and the x-ray and microscopic photographs of this century. The history is presented not as a string of events, but as an inexorable drive to the present, an approach rarely encountered or admitted to in the history of anything but science. Separately, volume one costs $65; volume two, $72. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
