The History of Medicine is a beautifully illustrated graphic novel detailing the trials, tribulations and astounding successes of medicine from Medieval times to the modern age.
From the icky to the downright disgusting, and from the weird to the awe-inspiring, this fun and factual account of medicine through the ages will fascinate and horrify in equal measure. The subject is covered with authority and wit by the author as the development of medicine is explored. From people’s flawed understanding that the human body was ruled by four humours to the discovery of penicillin, vaccines, anaesthesia, DNA, X-rays, gene therapy and much more.
