...events between 1920 and 1975. Anyone reading the book is aware of these changes and for a modern audience the concluding chapter oversimplifies and repeats what is provided in the preface. Flexner's aim is to provide history rather than record modern developments. Nevertheless, it may be valuable to reread the concluding chapter fifteen years from now to see if our perspectives have changed...
