The New York Times Book Review,  by Andrew H. Malcolm
Dr. Lown, an emeritus professor of cardiology at the Harvard School of Public Health, writes powerfully of the mystery and majesty of medicine, as well as the beneficial technology that, he argues sadly, has also encouraged and abetted the depersonalization of medical care.... Unafraid to admit his own mistakes, Dr. Lown relishes common-sense lessons. "One cannot always go by the book," he writes.

REVIEW by a reader , April 12, 1997
  Both artist and healer
Truly a courageous piece of work by this remarkable physician. Rarely can one read a treatise by an "insider" so intimateand revealing as this jewel. Dr. Lown pulls no punches and insists on the reader's full attention. Anyone who cares about and takes responsibility for his own health should read this riveting tome. Any physician who wishes to learn from a master must read and listen...Lown is truly both artist and healer.

The growing interest in these problems has been manifested by (1) new and updated publications on the foot and ankle, (2) the fastest growing subspecialty of orthopaedics, (3) a growing volume of basic science and clinical research, and (4) an expanded allocation for foot and ankle questions on certification examinations. This highly illustrated text provides a thorough description of all of the currently accepted approaches to foot and ankle surgery. Each of the illustrations is accompanied by detailed, step-by-step text explaining the surgical approaches.
