Medicine Through the Ages: Modern Medicine

This book looks at the extraordinary changes in medicine since the start of the 20th century. It shows how today's amazing surgical techniques, such as heart transplants, would have been unthinkable for a doctor a hundred years ago.
This series tracks changes to human understanding of health and disease through history. It uses 'common confusions' panels to tackle myths and misunderstandings, biography panels to describe innovators, and word banks to explain challenging and unfamiliar terms.
