This book offers a thorough description of the history of homeopathy and a glimpse into its future. The author faces contentious issues directly and questions existing standards with rigour. It leaves the reader eager to discover what gems the remaining six books in the series will contain.
—Dr Isaac Golden, Australia

Al Gray navigates the often turbulent waters of different homeopathic gurus in a refreshing way. No doubt those whose systems he describes will find a sympathetic yet critical examination of their approaches. This is a breath of fresh air; it is not the voice of the apologist or sycophant but rather a considered critical examination of some of the greatest influences upon modern homeopathic practice.
—Susanna Shelton, NZ

The art of taking the case is much neglected in homeopathy but certainly not by Alastair C. Gray. This encyclopaedic approach to the subject is a major contribution to homeopathic literature.
—Dr Brian Kaplan, UK

If I had had this book when I was a homeopathy student, I would not have taken such a muddled path to acquire my homeopathic case-taking skills! This book on Homeopathic Case-taking by Alastair Gray will be on the compulsory reading list for my BHMS students.
