Julian Winston has penned the most delightful and impressive treatise on the history of homeopathy I have encountered. It spans the entire age of Homeopathy from Hahnemann to our most modern homeopaths, with a special emphasis on those in the United States. The book is detailed beyond belief, yet a joy to read. It is replete with an encyclopedic gallery of fascinating photos and numerous anecdotal side-bars of special interest. The Faces of Homeopathy is profoundly accurate, meeting the most stringent requirements of academia, yet it is pleasantly entertaining and engaging. It is certainly a must for all homeopaths and those interested in homeopathy and the history of medicine. A marvelous accomplishment! -- George Guess, MD, Editor JAIH

From the Publisher:    In 1905, William Harvey King, MD, wrote a four-volume history of homeopathy in the United States -- The History of Homeopathy and Its Institutions in America. It was to remain the only work on the subject for 66 years. Then, in 1971 Martin Kaufman wrote his scholarly work, Homeopathy: The Rise and Fall of a Medical Heresy. It was followed, in 1973, by Harris Coulter's Divided Legacy: Science and Ethics in American Medicine 1800-1914. Coulter's book, told us nothing of the decline of homeopathy through the 1920s. Kaufman, while discussing the critical period of 1920-1960, saw little hope of homeopathy surviving for more than another 10 years.  Yet, homeopathy arose from the ashes in the early 1970s, and has risen to a place of prominence in the health care field, world-wide.  The Faces of Homoeopathy is the first book to tell the whole story-- from Hahnemann through the contemporary homeopaths in the 1990s. Through a narrative laced with 137 biographies and 365 illustrations, the history of homeopathy, with a primary focus on the United States and England, comes to life.

As well as offering a wonderful tale, Julian put his heart and soul into this work.  He travelled the countryside interviewing family members of homeopaths and trawled through their attics for photographs.  Nowhere else will you find the details found here.  Elizabeth Wighton, Similibooks
