"College-level health collections strong in pharmaceutical science and alternative medicine will find Honey in Traditional and Modern Medicine a specific, clear discussion of the medical uses of honey, and will want to include this in any health holding. From honey's chemical composition and healing properties to its botanical origins, description, and other qualities, chapters survey medicine uses and review its many beneficial effects, and provide an excellent overview filled with technical studies and references. A 'must' for any health holding."
—James A. Cox, Editor-in-Chief, Midwest Book Review"The volume nicely bridges the gap between modern applications of honey and its ancient and traditional uses… The editor deserves special credit for maintaining a balance of information throughout the volume that prevents the content from becoming overwhelming and hence provides an enjoyable reading experience and resource."
—Saikat Kumar Basu, Department of Biological Sciences, University of Lethbridge, Alberta, Canada, in Plant Science Bulletin
"… a very interesting book that covers a wide variety of material associated with the medicinal use of honey in Asia, Africa, and Europe. … an informative and unique edition to the literature and should be of interest to a range of readers including professionals, e.g. pharmacognosists, physicians, and pharmacists, as well as others with an interest in the use of natural products. This reviewer recommends that book is embraced in the spirit in which it was written."
