4 comments about Hippocrates (Medicine and Culture).

1. table of contents and editor review are of Jouanna's book on hippocrates not the Loeb Library No 482. it appears under Jouanna's book also



2. The previous review writer seems to have misunderstood the review presented above. The review, in fact, DOES allude to Jouanna's text. The Loeb version is merely discussed in Jouanna's text in the "Notes" section.



3. Just to reiterate the point, the review above is for a book on Hippocrates by Jaques Jouanna. It only references the Loeb book in its critique, and was probably attahced to this Loeb page by accident. The Loeb books on Hippocrates come in several volumes.



4. The expert of Amazon may have confused of 2 differnt books into one title under the name of Hippocrates Loeb Classical.
   
   Only the hard cover link may be right in selling and showing the image of Loeb Classical Volume VIII:
   
   Hippocrates (Loeb Classical Library, No 482)
   by Paul Potter
   
   Links of image, paperback, and customer reviews are all on the different book of:
   
   Hippocrates (Medicine and Culture)
   by Jacques Jouanna, M. B. Debevoise
   Paperback: 540 pages
   Publisher: Johns Hopkins University Press; Reprint edition (December 1, 2001)
   ISBN: 0801868181
   
   Contents of book on Hippocrates is as good as book "by" Hippocrates. But the web design is confusing to customers. How can we buy each great 8 volumes of Hippocrates Loeb Classical, and choose out books "on" Hippocrates like this?

1 comments about So That His Death Will Have Not Been in Vain: The Sickle Cell Trait : A Serious Factor to Be Observed by the Military.

1. So That His Death Will Not Have Been In Vain is a serious book about a mother (the author) and her son who had serious hopes of becoming a naval officer, but he callasped while in basic training, and died several days later. What is most interesting about this book is that he was a carrier of the sickle cell trait, but was not aware of its impact. And what made it most interesting was that the navy wasn't aware of the effect being a carrier could have on one's physical body. Being aware could have saved the life of this promising young man. Many African Americans and decendants from the Mediterranian or apt to have the sickle cell disease or be carriers. This book is a lesson for parents and a lesson for the military. Why? because it serves as an awareness tool for those who are not familiar. For example, even being a carrier has its consequencies,i.e., heat factors as it relates to over heating in the sun while doing strenuous exercise, etc. If you have the trait in your family or know of family members who are carriers--this is an important book to read. It provides you with the basis of the Sickle Cell trait and what you should be aware that could mean the difference in life or death. The book is serious and provides you with serious information. The author has indeed done some serious research in helping us to understand the carrier of the sickle cell trait, and learning more about the death of her son.
