Paperback. Condition: Good. DAILY MAIL, GUARDIAN AND OBSERVER BOOKS OF THE YEAR 2017 Winner of the 2018 PEN/E.O. Wilson Prize for Literary Science Writing Shortlisted for the 2018 Wellcome Book Prize Shortlisted for the 2018 Wolfson Prize The story of a visionary British surgeon whose quest to unite science and medicine delivered us into the modern world - the safest time to be alive in human history Victorian operating theatres were known as 'gateways of death', Lindsey Fitzharris reminds us, since half of those who underwent surgery didn't survive the experience. This was an era when a broken leg could lead to amputation, when surgeons often lacked university degrees, and were still known to ransack cemeteries to find cadavers. While the discovery of anaesthesia somewhat lessened the misery for patients, ironically it led to more deaths, as surgeons took greater risks. In squalid, overcrowded hospitals, doctors remained baffled by the persistent infections that kept mortality rates stubbornly high. At a time when surgery couldn't have been more dangerous, an unlikely figure stepped forward: Joseph Lister, a young, melancholy Quaker surgeon. By making the audacious claim that germs were the source of all infection - and could be treated with antiseptics - he changed the history of medicine forever. With a novelist's eye for detail, Fitzharris brilliantly conjures up the grisly world of Victorian surgery, revealing how one of Britain's greatest medical minds finally brought centuries of savagery, sawing and gangrene to an end. The book has been read but remains in clean condition. All pages are intact and the cover is intact. Some minor wear to the spine.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Als Harold Gillies die Verheerungen des Ersten Weltkriegs mit eigenen Augen sieht, ist er schockiert. Zu viele junge Männer werden nach nur einem falschen Augenblick ihrem Schicksal überlassen: für immer entstellt, für immer Monster in den Augen der Gesellschaft. Nach seiner Rückkehr ins Königreich setzt der junge Arzt alles daran, einen Weg zu finden, um das Leiden zu verringern. Mit stetem Einsatz, vielen Verbündeten und unkonventionellen Methoden baut er die erste »Schönheitsklinik« der Welt auf und kämpft fortan gegen das Stigma einer Generation. Sein Leben wird zum Gründungsakt einer Disziplin, die unsere Gegenwart unmissverständlich prägt.Für die, die schön sein wollen, mussten andere leiden. Denn die Operationen der Schönheitschirurgie - Rhinoplastik, Lidstraffung, Fettabsaugung - haben ihren grausigen Ursprung im Ersten Weltkrieg. Im Schlamm der Schützengräben verlor eine ganze Generation das Gesicht, bis ein furchtloser Arzt den Grundstein legte für eine neue, revolutionäre Disziplin . Lindsey Fitzharris erzählt packend und erkenntnisreich vom Leben dieses Mannes und dem Wert der menschlichen Züge.

Paperback. Condition: New. New; No início da Primeira Guerra, uma coisa ficou evidente: a tecnologia militar da Europa havia superado suas capacidades médicas. Corpos eram desmembrados, retalhados e envenenados a uma velocidade impressionante, a ponto de os hospitais não darem conta e os sobreviventes ficarem espalhados pelo chão à espera de socorro.Em meio a essa brutalidade, um horror prevaleceu de forma inédita: soldados eram desfigurados por projéteis, estilhaços e chamas, sendo relegados se sobrevivessem ao ostracismo e à repulsa em uma sociedade tão ligada à aparência. É aí que um homem entra em cena para mudar de vez essa situação: Harold Gillies, um médico pioneiro que, com coragem e criatividade, mudou para sempre os rumos da cirurgia plástica.Graças aos seus esforços durante um conflito sem precedentes, homens com mandíbulas destruídas, narizes retalhados, bochechas arrebentadas e outras lesões assustadoras recuperaram a própria identidade. Novo livro de Lindsey Fitzharris, a premiada autora de Medicina dos horrores, O restaurador de rostos conta a incrível história desse homem e dos indivíduos que ganharam uma nova chance sob seus cuidados.; 336 pages.

Paperback. Condition: New. New; Em Medicina dos horrores, a historiadora Lindsey Fitzharris narra como era o chocante mundo da cirurgia do século XIX, que estava às vésperas de uma profunda transformação. A autora evoca os primeiros anfiteatros de operações lugares abafados onde os procedimentos eram feitos diante de plateias lotadas e cirurgiões pioneiros, cujo ofício era saudado não pela precisão, mas pela velocidade e pela força bruta, uma vez que não havia anestesia. Não à toa, os mais célebres cirurgiões da época eram capazes de amputar uma perna em menos de trinta segundos. Trabalhando sem luvas e sem qualquer cuidado com a higiene básica, esses profissionais, alheios à existência de micro-organismos, ficavam perplexos com as infecções pós-operatórias, o que mantinha as taxas de mortalidade implacavelmente elevadas.É nesse cenário, em que se considerava mais provável um homem sobreviver à guerra do que ao hospital, que emerge a figura de Joseph Lister, um jovem médico que desvendaria esse enigma mortal e mudaria o curso da história. Concentrando-se no tumultuado período entre 1850 e 1875, a autora nos apresenta Lister e seus contemporâneos e nos conduz por imundas escolas de medicina, os sórdidos hospitais onde eles aprimoravam sua arte, as "casas da morte" onde estudavam anatomia e os cemitérios, que eles volta e meia invadiam para roubar cadáveres.Chocante e revelador, Medicina dos horrores celebra o triunfo de um visionário, cuja busca para atribuir um caráter científico à medicina terminou por salvar milhões de vidas.; 320 pages.
