Description
Publisher's Description of Exploring the History of Medicine
From surgery to vaccines, man has made great strides in the field of medicine. Quality of life has improved dramatically in the last few decades alone, and the future is bright. But students must not forget that God provided humans with minds and resources to bring about these advances.
A biblical perspective of healing and the use of medicine provides the best foundation for treating diseases and injury. In Exploring the World of Medicine, author John Hudson Tiner reveals the spectacular discoveries that started with men and women who used their abilities to better mankind and give glory to God.
The fascinating history of medicine comes alive in this book, providing students with a healthy dose of facts, mini-biographies, and vintage illustrations. Includes chapter tests and index.
Category Description for Intro to Pre-Med
Written from a biblical worldview, Intro to Pre-Med Studies from Master Books gives interested high schoolers an introduction to essential life science and human anatomy, germs, and the history of medicine. There are four required texts: Exploring the History of Medicine, Genesis of Germs, Body by Design, and Building Blocks in Life Science. One book is studied each quarter with students reading and responding to related questions. Each quarter concludes with a comprehensive exam. Components are sold separately or in a set with the Teacher Guide and four required books. Please note, no labs are included in this overview study. Families wanting to add a lab component may be interested in one of the following: Bacteria Growing Kit, Genetics and DNA Lab, or the Medical Science Kit. Intro to Pre-Med Studies would make an excellent introduction to a more traditional biology course like Master’s Biology or Discovering Design with Biology.
