Description

This book is a fascinating look at the early days of surgery and how far it has come since then. H. G. Wells gives a detailed account of various surgeries and procedures, as well as the conditions that led to them. He also discusses the ethical considerations involved in surgery, something that is still relevant today. This is an excellent book for anyone interested in the history of medicine or in the ethical implications of medical procedures.

Author

H. G. Wells (1866–1946) was born in Bromley, trained in biology under Huxley, and turned that laboratory habit into fiction. The Time Machine sent a Victorian into deep time; The War of the Worlds brought the sky down on the Home Counties. He wrote as if the future were a social problem with monsters attached. The novels argue while they entertain. A draper's son who made scientific romance a public language.
