This series is the only comprehensive narration of Western history written from the orthodox Catholic perspective still in print. How would a historical narrative read if the author began with these first principles: Truth exists; the Incarnation happened? This series is essential reading for those who consider the West worth defending.

I bought it on my smart phone from the museum and it was waiting for me when i got home across the country. I feel guilty paying less for it through than at the museum; but it wouldn't have fit in my luggage.7 of 7 people found the following review helpful. what a cool bookBy shaunawonkaI lived a couple blocks from this museum while I was in grad school and I kick myself now for never going to see it. This book is awesome. I wish there was a little more description of each photo; but then again I am a nerd :). The photos are amazing and as a medical practitioner; I think the procedures they did on some of these people 100; 130 years ago; were pretty groundbreaking. Definitely a great buy for anyone interested in oddities2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Great; but could be bigger!By Renato_ReaI received this book today; and was caught by the strong photos. I keep putting it on the shelf and picking up again; because it's images keep coming back in your mind.And this is what the book is all about: photos. Printed perfectly. You can see the details; they are big; clear... And they are divided in chapters; what is excelent; since you can browse easily.But no; it's not a voyeur or sadistic book.Actually; for me; it's exactly the opposite: the photos indeed have medical purposes and you can see that they were made not to fulfill someone's desires; but to study and heal the diseases.It's very; very touching the photos of babys and childrens. But the most impressive it's that you can see; in most of cases; the will to survive and to fight the disease.I recommend this book. It's not a book to read during dinner; to show to everbdy nor to fulfill secret and disgustive desires. It's a book that show patients and theyr fight against disease.I just don't give 5 stars because be big; actually a lot bigger. It's like a free sample of every chapter.
