Information from the cover or publisher

Inside Cover: In 1905, William Harvey King, MD, wrote a four-volume history of homoeopathy in the United States - The History of Homoeopathy and Its Institutions in America. It was to remain the only work on the subject for 66 years. Then, in 1971 Martin Kaufman wrote his scholarly work, Homeopathy: The Rise and Fall of a Medical Heresy. It was followed, in 1973, by Harris Coulter's Divided Legacy: Science and Ethics in American Medicine 1800-1914. Coulter's book, told us nothing of the decline of homeopathy through the 1920s. Kaufman, while discussing the critical period of 1920-1960, saw little hope of homoeopathy surviving for more than another 10 years. Yet, homoeopathy arose from the ashes in the early 1970s, and has risen to a place of prominence in the health care field, world-wide. The Faces of Homoeopathy is the first book to tell the whole story - from Hahnemann though the contemporary homoeopaths in the 1990s. Through a narrative laced with 137 biographies and 365 illustrations, the history of homoeopathy, with a primary focus on The United States and England, comes to life. Information from the publisher: Julian Winston has penned the most delightful and impressive treatise on the history of homeopathy I have encountered. It spans the entire age of Homeopathy from Hahnemann to our most modern homeopaths, with a special emphasis on those in the United States. The book is detailed beyond belief, yet a joy to read. It is replete with an encyclopedic gallery of fascinating photos and numerous anecdotal side-bars of special interest. The Faces of Homeopathy is profoundly accurate, meeting the most stringent requirements of academia, yet it is pleasantly entertaining and engaging. It is certainly a must for all homeopaths and those interested in homeopathy and the history of medicine. A marvellous accomplishment! George Guess, MD, Editor JAIH With the appearance of Winston's work we now have a new and robust friend on the bookshelf. Even if your interest in the history of homeopathy is oblique do not delay in obtaining it, for you shall treasure it just as you do your materia medica or repertory.

I couldn't put it down, and arrived at the office, bleary-eyed but excited, with bits and pieces to share,... It's already well thumbed, and book-marked. Infact, almost as booked-marked as my copy of The Organon. Susan Beals, DVM, Big Run, PA Julian Winston's Faces of Homoeopathy brings the history of homeopathy alive. The pioneers of homoeopathy leap off the page. Julian Winston has combined excellent historical scholarship with a style of writing that captures the thoughts and words of the men and women who contributed to homeopathy over the past 200 years. This is a key text for anyone who wants to truly understand the development of homoeopathic medicine. Wenda Brewster O'Reilly, Ph.D. Editor of Samuel Hahnemann's Organon of the Medical Art Wandering through Julian's book is like wandering through a wonderful museum where you see everything that the homeopaths of old used, from books, to their bottles, to their homeopathic cases, and so much more. His book is like a dessert; you can't just read one page and put it down. No, its more like opening a can of Pringles potato chips--you must keep reading because you are so well entertained and all along, sly Julian is teaching you our history of homeopathy. This book is long overdue on our scene. This is one book you won't be sorry to buy. I keep my copy on the coffee table and every spare minute, I pick it up and read a few more pages. And then I find, I can't put it down! Eileen Nauman Author of Help with Homeopathy The Faces of Homeopathy: An Illustrated History of the First 200 Years, is truly a magnificent work. It is fascinating, compelling, beautifully published, impressively accurate, and well written. Julian has unearthed a lot of great info about the people of homeopathy and has weaved together homeopathy's tapestry of personalities to present a coherent history of the dramas and traumas of homeopathy. --Dana Ullman Author and publisher I love it. There is something about seeing the pictures and reading the stories of all those people forming an unending chain of succession that inspires me to carry on the work and do the best I truly can for homoeopathy. --Janet Snowden, RSHom, UK Homeopathic educator The Faces of Homoeopathy is an exhaustive guided tour of every aspect of the subject, a delightful feast of information and biographies of all the main figures. This book is lavishly illustrated with many original photos and signatures not found elsewhere, and it makes very imaginative use of straight text, quotation material and personal narrative presented for the reader in a variety of print forms pleasing to the eye. It is hard to put this book down once opened! --Peter Morrell Hon. Research Associate in the History of Medicine, Staffordshire Univ. UK History can be so bloody drab and dull the way it is usually presented, but your book reads like a real storybook about real people, and I love storybooks, especially with homoeopathic subject matter. --Erica Mackenzie Student, Sydney College of Homoeopathic Medicine Sydney, Australia Julian Winston's book 'Faces of Homoeopathy' is an essential tool for those of us wanting to fully understand our history as homoeopaths-- and if we don't know our history well then we can't hope to avoid the mistakes. I have been glued ever since I received it and have been amazed at how much I did not know. This is an essential book for all teachers of homoeopathy and is highly recommended for all senior students. The scholarship is superb and it is entertaining too. What more could you ask....? well free I suppose, but failing that twice the price would still be a bargain for the information. All college libraries should have several copies!!! --Anthony Bickley RSHom, Principal British School of Homoeopathy An absorbing story well told, it will reward the serious student or general reader who is prepared to start from the beginning, to proceed in order, and so catch the sweep of the movement as a whole. In addition, as a repository of lore both important and trivial, it will make a perfect gift book for the coffee table of our cured or at least grateful patients, friends, and sympathizers who are drawn to or interested in the subject but lack the patience or motivation to wade all the way through it. I can say without hesitation that Julian Winston is by far the most knowledgeable and reliable guide now writing in English, and that any friend of homeopathy will find in the book a bounty of unexpected treasures for both edification and delight. The book is a truly superb history of the movement that I have every reason to believe will stand the test of time. --Richard Moskowitz, MD Author and Educator
