Medicine
From primitive times, when
magic was often the only available medicine, to modern days, when the
doctor's ability to cure illness just seems miraculous: how, through the
centuries, did we travel from one point to the other? This remarkable voyage
through the milestones and landmarks of medical knowledge takes us back to
prehistory, when sorcerers actually perforated the skull to relieve ailments
right through the most up-to-date,
sophisticated technology used by skilled practitioners now. There are
portraits of outstanding doctors, surgeons, and scientists whose efforts
produced revolutionary breakthroughs; accounts of major developments. More than 200 color
and black-and-white illustrations, paintings, engravings, and photographs,
