Abstract

Review of: A State of Health: New Jersey's Medical Heritage by Karen Reeds. Rutgers University Press, New Brunswick, 2001. Pp 142; $ 45. [Published on HNet, November 2005] A State of Health, like Cowen's earlier book, offers a coherent overview of New Jersey's medical history. Primarily, however, the book is aimed at ordinary New Jerseyans who will enjoy this highly accessible gateway into the history of health and medicine in the Garden State. Ambitious New Jersey students embarking on careers in medicine will find that A State of Health gives them a valuable perspective on the healing professions. Such books provide much-needed perspective (and a welcome respite) for those inundated with the very real concerns of a modern health care system in crisis.
