&ldquo;A must-read for medical history buffs, whether mainstream or maverick.&rdquo;&mdash;Publishers Weekly&ldquo;A thorough, informative history of the many eccentric narratives that make these quack sciences so interesting and important to modern medicine.&rdquo;&mdash;Kirkus Reviews&ldquo;Historian Janik chronicles the rise and fall and renewed popularity of alternative medicine.&rdquo;&mdash;Booklist&ldquo;Erika Janik&rsquo;s survey of alternative therapies hums with strange ideas and even odder characters.&rdquo;&mdash;Boston Globe&ldquo;[Janik] offers full and fair accounts of the origins, rationales and fortunes of [these] alternative practices.&rdquo;&mdash;Wall Street Journal&ldquo;[Janik]&#160;is especially good at delineating the history of women.&rdquo;&mdash;CHOICE, recommended review&ldquo;A must read for those in the natural and alternative health industry.&rdquo;&mdash;The Herbal Collective&ldquo;Marketplace of the Marvelous&#160;is well served by Janik's training as a historian. The observations of the misfit margins that she explores are both keen and cutting&mdash;she is as evenhanded as she is graceful when describing the turbulent first half of the nineteenth century, and draws clear connections between modern medical theory and its early influences.&rdquo;&mdash;The Source Weekly&ldquo;Erika Janik&rsquo;s Marketplace of the Marvelous is a rare achievement: both entertaining narrative for the curious reader and valuable resource for the serious scholar. I wish I&rsquo;d had it when writing my biographies of prominent nineteenth-century women, as easily seduced by the promised cures of pseudoscience as so many others in the era of brutally &ldquo;heroic&rdquo; medicine, with its tortuous treatments of bloodletting, blistering, and mega-doses of mercury. Janik rightly traces many of our contemporary notions of healthy living to early crackpot remedies&mdash;drinking plenty of water, regular exercise, massage, herbal medicines. In this remarkable volume Janik summons up a vanished world of visionaries and cranks who were indeed both marvelous and modern.&rdquo; &mdash;Megan Marshall, author of The Peabody Sisters and Margaret Fuller: A New American Life&ldquo;Astronomy was preceded by Astrology.      Modern medical science was preceded by snake oil and      homeopathy. Janik tells a compelling story, in graceful prose, of      what happens when error, greed and fashion&#160; rule the marketplace of      medical ideas. What Lewis Thomas called &lsquo;The Youngest Science&rsquo;&mdash;medicine      based on cell and molecular biology&mdash;is young, indeed; and this fine book      reminds us of how far we have come.&rdquo;&mdash;Gerald Weissmann, MD, author      of Epigenetics in the Age of Twitter&#160;&ldquo;An engaging romp through more than a century of irregular medicine, from the kookiness of phrenologists and mesmerists to the excessive claims of snake-oil salesmen and Thomsonian botanical practitioners. Erika Janik explores these medical byways with both skepticism and respect, showing how their often-derided practitioners were pioneers (at times unwittingly) in the exploration of placebo effects, psychotherapy, the importance of exercise, disease prevention, and patient engagement in their own care&mdash;elements that have been gradually absorbed into mainstream medical practice. It&rsquo;s a fun read and eye-opening from start to finish.&rdquo; &mdash;David Hellerstein, MD, professor of psychiatry, Columbia University Medical Center, and author of Heal Your Brain
