About This Item
Bantam Press, 2005 8vo (24 cm), XIII, 482 pp, plates. Publisher's cloth and dust jacket. "Wendy Moore unveils John Hunter's extraordinary world -- a world characterized by hangings at the Tyburn Tree, by gruesome expeditions to dank churchyards, and by countless human dissections in attic rooms. Meticulously researched, vividly drawn, this is also a fascinating portrait of a remarkable pioneer in the emergent sciences of geology, biology and evolution and his determined struggle to haul surgery out of the realm of superstition and into the dawn of modern medicine." (from the publisher's synopsis)
