Reviews

This is one of those ostensible do-it-yourself books with a publisher's warning at the very beginning that doing it yourself is really not appropriate. Even the authors tell you to see a "holistic" podiatrist if you really want to get well (they warn you away from orthopedic surgeons, whatever you decide). While this book includes a great deal of information about the foot (anatomy, ankle function, corns, calluses, flat feet, etc.) it is not "complete," as there are a great many foot disorders that are omitted. The authors blame almost everything on pointed, high-heeled women's shoes and jogging. Libraries that have a very extensive medical collection might purchase this book, but it is doubtful if anyone will read it completely.
