Description du produit

Elegantly constructed book... (George Rousseau, TLS )

The stories they tell are often fascinating and alarming - pitched somewhere between farce, genius, horror and a lab report. (The Scotsman )

These four 'biographies' of diseases go far beyond questions of biology or medical practice; they talk politics, sex and class, faith. (The Scotsman )

The notion of an ailment having a birth, a lifespan, and - ideally - a demise...is an illuminating and useful concept. (Wendy Moore, British Medical Journal )

Andrew Scull's exploration...provides an utterly enthralling study of medical ideology and sociology. (Wendy Moore, British Medical Journal )

Should be required reading for all students of medicine. (Wendy Moore, British Medical Journal )
