Reviews

“Book about modern developments in health care and biomedical technology, and numerous healthcare dilemmas relevant for the public today. It introduces the reader to a huge range of treatment options available to him or her, explains how they work, and discusses the ethical and political implications of these technologies. … Healthcare and Biomedical Technology in the 21st Century is a highly informative book that, if used wisely in undergraduate education, can most certainly help promote students’ scientific and health literacy.” (Rebecca B. Carver, Science and Education, Vol. 25, 2016)
