About this item
Medicine is not only a science; it is also an art. It does not consist of compounding pills and plasters; it deals with the very processes of life, which must be understood before they may be guided.'

In a fascinating narrative, this book charts our remarkable progress along the road of medical discovery, describing the key developments and breakthroughs in our understanding of our own bodies.
Topics include:
* Historical models of the body and disease
* The role of dissection in medical discovery
* Plagues and pandemics throughout history
