The Body in the Library: A Literary History of Modern Medicine

Editorial Reviews
John Carmody, Nature, 7 June 2004
A superb reminder that the creativity of physicians flows beautifully beyond the consulting room or laboratory.

David A. Rocheforth, Project Hope, May/June 2004
Bamforth's erudite volume...is not just an important cultural record, it is a humanistic treasure as well.
