Andreola Review

This schoolbook is written like a story. That’s why I like it. It puts the “people” aspect back into science, making it both friendly and factual. Chapter by short chapter, one man’s discovery builds upon (or corrects) another and the progress of medicine unfolds.

You’ll meet William Harvey, who proves his theory of blood circulation. You’ll learn of Joseph Lister’s compassion, which drives him to find a better way to combat infections; and of Humphry Davy’s gas machine, which allows patients to be relieved of terrible pain during surgery. Did you know that the British navy balked at Dr. Lind’s suggestion of supplying sailors with limes to prevent scurvy, but Captain Cook was a firm believer that citrus fruits contributed to the success of his 4-year voyage?

A whole host of characters play their part, revealing the lesser-known details about the mold that battles bacteria, how vitamins keep you healthy, the use of radiation, and much more. Includes chapter tests and an answer key. For grades 4 to 8. 165 pages with black-and-white illustrations, softcover from Master Books.
