Telling the story of the pioneers who transformed the practice of surgery during the 19th century, Professor Jones describes the achievements of men such as Joseph Lister, who established the antiseptic principle in Glasgow in the 1860s, Alexander Ogston in Aberdeen, who discovered the cause of wound sepsis, and William Macewen, who made great advances in orthopaedics and brain surgery. Vividly portraying both patients and surgeons, the book will appeal as much to the general reader as to historians, medics and scientists.
