图书描述

Smoking Ears and Screaming Teeth is a hilarious celebration of the great eccentrics who have performed dangerous experiments on themselves for the benefit of humankind, written with all the wit, humour and eye for the beauties of nature -- and machinery and scientific equipment -- that have gained Trevor Norton a cult following and critical acclaim.

Many have followed the advice of the great Victorian scientist Jack Haldane to "never experiment on an animal if a man will do" and "never ask anyone to do anything you wouldn't do yourself." He and his father inhaled poisonous gasses to test the efficacy of the prototype gas mask they had invented. When breathing gasses under pressure he suffered the smoking ears and screaming teeth of the title.

The stories are astonishing, disturbing or absurd -- the Marquis de Sade meets Monty Python. John Hunter pioneered self-experimentation and deliberately infected himself with venereal diseases by the puss transference method and gave his name to chancre of the penis. The zoologist Frank Buckland made a concentrated effort to widen the nation's diet by personally testing everything that crossed his path, from boiled elephant's trunk to bluebottles. He published recipes for such delicacies as slug soup. Some medics deliberately contracted deadly blood diseases in the hope of finding cures. Then there was the surgeon who got the sack and won the Nobel prize for thrusting a catheter into his own beating heart.

Trevor Norton writes that self-experimentation is still a component of much scientific research. In our health and safety obsessed society, we need people who are willing to risk themselves to make life safer for us.

甚是有趣。调侃中隐藏着悲壮。文字尽显英国式的促狭,哈哈。

书还没看完,不过第四章太萌,忍不住先来八卦。 扣一星是为翻译,有的时候特别萌,比如没吊死的绞刑囚犯被人成为“半吊人”,讲述移植去他乡的植物用的是:“说服”一些亚热带植物应付欧洲的气候。有的时候又很生硬,感觉像是一边在痛苦的做英语阅读一边在脑袋里翻译出来的磕...

作为一本医学史及医学小知识的科普,这本书是绝对的推荐。文笔诙谐,语言简练易懂,不乏阅读的乐趣, 对于没有医学知识的人来说是极易读懂的。看了很多评论,大部份人在感叹科学家及医生为科学献身的伟大实践精神。 作为一名医务工作者,里面的小故事曾经从正统的医学史中都有...
