Roy Porter was until his retirement Professor in the Social History of Medicine at the Wellcome Institute for the History of Medicine. He last book ENLIGHTENMENT won a 2001 Wolfson Prize. Roy Porter died March 3rd 2002.
Mankind's battle to stay alive is the greatest of all subjects. This brief, witty and unusual book by Britain's greatest medical historian compresses into a tiny span a lifetime spent thinking about millennia of human ingenuity in the quest to cheat death. Each chapter sums up one of these battlefields (surgery, doctors, disease, hospitals, laboratories and the human body) in a way that is both frightening and elating. Startlingly illustrated, "A Short History of Medicine" is the ideal present for anyone who is keenly aware of their own mortality and wants to do something about it. It is also a wonderful memorial to one of Penguin's greatest historians.

評分最近對醫學特彆感興趣,尤其因為讀過《打開一顆心》之後,就像打開瞭新世界一樣,對醫學乃至其發展史都特彆特彆的感興趣。還記得當初在芝加哥參觀的國際外科手術科學博物館的時候,我被那些展覽齣來曾經使用過的手術器材所吸引,還有西方醫學傳統的那些手術方法,都促使我對醫...
