<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Astonishing surgical breakthroughs are making once unfathomable operations possible. But getting to this stage has not been without obstacles. Veteran science writer Hollingham weaves a compelling narrative highlighting the key moments in surgical history.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>In <i>Blood and Guts</i>, veteran science writer Richard Hollingham weaves a compelling narrative from the key moments in surgical history. We have a ringside seat in the operating theater of University College Hospital in London as world-renowned Victorian surgeon Robert Liston performs a remarkable amputation in thirty seconds--from first cut to final stitch. Innovations such as Joseph Lister's antiseptic technique, the first open-heart surgery, and Walter Freeman's lobotomy operations, among other breakthroughs, are brought to life in these pages in vivid detail. <p/>Today, astonishing surgical breakthroughs are making limb transplants, face transplants, and a host of other previously un dreamed of operations possible. But getting here has not been a simple story of medical progress. This is popular science writing at it's best. <p/>...a quick, entertaining read filled with operating-room dramas that end in disaster or triumph and a wide variety of heroes and villains. -<i>Kirkus Reviews</i></p><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p>RICHARD HOLLINGHAM is a science journalist, author, and BBC radio presenter.
