Mankind's battle to stay alive is the greatest of all subjects. This brief, witty and unusual book by Britain's greatest medical historian compresses into a tiny span a lifetime spent thinking about millennia of human ingenuity in the quest to cheat death. Each chapter sums up one of these battlefields (surgery, doctors, disease, hospitals, laboratories and the human body) in a way that is both frightening and elating. Startlingly illustrated, "A Short History of Medicine" is the ideal present for anyone who is keenly aware of their own mortality and wants to do something about it. It is also a wonderful memorial to one of Penguin's greatest historians.
Roy Porter was until his retirement Professor in the Social History of Medicine at the Wellcome Institute for the History of Medicine. He last book ENLIGHTENMENT won a 2001 Wolfson Prize. Roy Porter died March 3rd 2002.

评分 评分最近对医学特别感兴趣,尤其因为读过《打开一颗心》之后,就像打开了新世界一样,对医学乃至其发展史都特别特别的感兴趣。还记得当初在芝加哥参观的国际外科手术科学博物馆的时候,我被那些展览出来曾经使用过的手术器材所吸引,还有西方医学传统的那些手术方法,都促使我对医...
