Faces of Homeopathy

An absorbing story well told, it will reward the serious student or general reader who is prepared to start from the beginning, to proceed in order, and so catch the sweep of the movement as a whole. In addition, as a repository of lore both important and trivial, it will make a perfect gift book for the coffee table of our cured or at least grateful patients, friends, and sympathizers who are drawn to or interested in the subject but lack the patience or motivation to wade all the way through it. I can say without hesitation that Julian Winston is by far the most knowledgeable and reliable guide now writing in English, and that any friend of homeopathy will find in the book a bounty of unexpected treasures for both edification and delight. -- Richard Moskowitz, MD, Author and Educator, Homeopathy Today, October 1999

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

Julian Winston's Faces of Homoeopathy brings the history of homeopathy alive. The pioneers of homoeopathy leap off the page. Julian Winston has combined excellent historical scholarship with a style of writing that captures the thoughts and words of the men and women who contributed to homeopathy over the past 200 years. This is a key text for anyone who wants to truly understand the development of homeopathic medicine. -- Wenda Brewster O'Reilly, Ph.D., Editor of Samuel Hahnemann's Organon of the Medical Art

Julian Winston's book 'Faces of Homoeopathy' is an essential book for those of us wanting to fully understand our history as homeopaths-- and if we don't know our history well then we can't hope to avoid the mistakes. I have been glued ever since I received it and have been amazed at how much I did not know. This is an essential book for all teachers of homoeopathy and is highly recommended for all senior students. The scholarship is superb and it is entertaining too. All college libraries should have several copies! -- Anthony Bickley RSHom, Principal, British School of Homoeopathy

The Faces Of Homeopathy is truly a magnificent work. It is fascinating, compelling, beautifully published, impressively accurate, and well written. Julian has unearthed a lot of great info about the people of homeopathy and has weaved together homeopathy's tapestry of personalities to present a coherent history of the dramas and traumas of homeopathy. -- Dana Ullman, Author and publisher
