From New York Times bestselling author Lindsey Fitzharris, a riveting middle grade nonfiction book about medicine's most fascinating failures and dead ends.
Beheadings! Bloodletting! Bodysnatching! Journey down a snaking road bristling with medicine’s most astonishing “dead ends.” Marvel at the diagnoses, experiments, and treatments that were frequently useless, and often harmful, but that sometimes led doctors to discoveries that changed the world for the better.
Enjoy a whirlwind tour of the human body—from brain, to heart, to limbs—during which New York Times bestselling author Lindsey Fitzharris will guide you through centuries of medical mistakes, festooned with riveting facts and pitch-perfect humor. Celebrate the flukes, flops, and failures that have given science a better understanding of our bodies and ways to treat them.
This fascinating book of foul-ups is sure to delight young readers, and inspire them to embrace their failures, too!(P)2023 Bloomsbury Publishing PLC
Ce que les critiques en disent
* Macabre, madcap, and surprisingly wholesome in its positivity.
* An informative and entertaining dive into the successes and failures of medical history.
Alternates between informative, sensational, irreverent, and tongue-in-cheek (sometimes literally), resulting in engaging and engrossing reading. . . . Good luck keeping this gross one on library shelves once kids hear about it.
* Plague-Busters! is chock full of awesomely appalling medical history that is sure to delight audiences, and possibly even spark interest for some future pathologists.
* Engaging, informative, but also gross.
Fans of Albee's Poison will feel right at home with this darkly comedic piece of nonfiction.
A lively illustration of the perils of illness in the olden days.
An entertaining, accessible, and satisfyingly disgusting history of six diseases . . . an equally worthy choice for researchers and browsing pathologists.
* Meticulously researched and compulsively readable.
* An excellent biography of a genuine miracle worker.
This book is riveting. It is gruesome but it is also uplifting . . . What a triumph.
Atmospheric . . . The story it tells is one of abiding fascination.
