Boy, Were We Wrong About the Human Body!

Boy, Were We Wrong About the Human Body is a non-fiction book which looks back over time as to what were accepted medical practices.  It begins with mummification in Ancient Egypt, includes leeching, and goes through time rather quickly until the past 100 years when medical knowledge expanded rapidly.  This book is for the older elementary student, however, this age of student typically likes actual photographs rather than watercolor illustrations.  Good idea but falls short.
