--Journal of the History of Medicine
"An excellent book on a topic of more than academic interest."

--Anthropological Science
"A lot of hard academic grind has gone into this compilation, and it will remain a major reference work for decades to come. The bibliography is excellent and the glossary useful for the general reader."
--Antiquity
"A useful addition to the literature . . . Of value both to graduate students and to professionals."
"A key reference work for those interested in tuberculosis in ancient skeletons."
