From ancient herbal remedies to modern drugs, the field of medicine has evolved dramatically over many centuries.

Medicine takes you through the ages of human history and uncovers the greatest medical breakthroughs, with incredible coverage of disease, drugs, treatment, and cures. Turn the richly illustrated pages replete with compelling stories to learn all about the gory pitfalls and miraculous successes of medical history - from trepanning, bloodletting, and body snatching to brand new developments in IVF and gene therapy.

Double-page features on key scientists and researchers offer unique insight into their lives, experiments, and motivations.

Perfect for adults, students, and anyone interested in the fascinating medical history of the world, Medicine is the definitive visual history of our health.
