A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

'An anatomy upon the historical body of London' Peter Ackroyd

'With teasing asides about the scandals and intrigues of London's medical history ... Black reveals a little known aspects of the capital's past in a manner both informative and fun, accessible whether you have a medical background or not. Walks you'll actually want to go on.' Tom Lamont, Editor, Time Out: London for Londoners
This fascinating guide tells the story of health care development from medieval times to the present day through seven walks in central London, each with a key theme. By visiting former health care buildings where events unfolded, many now converted into hotels, offices, homes and shops, you can transport yourself back in time and at the same time gain an understanding of the continuing challenges that we face to improve modern health care.
Packed full of curious and surprising facts about medicine and health care, and beautifully illustrated with maps, photographs and images, this is the perfect guide for anyone with a passion for urban walks, the history of Lordon and, of course, medicine.
