The third book "DK Medical History"
Author: [English] Steve Parker
Subtitle: From Witchcraft and Acupuncture to Gene Editing
The history of medicine has always been the history of human struggle for survival and health. Doctors from ancient times to the present have left countless amazing and interesting adventure stories and absurd but inspiring great attempts on the road of treating diseases and preserving health.
Witch doctors in prehistoric times regarded disease as a curse to the soul, while ancient medicine in the East used acupuncture and wormwood to adjust the balance of "qi and blood circulation" in the body. In the Middle Ages, doctors used leeches to suck blood as a panacea, but it was not until17th century that the scientific theory of blood circulation was established. Before the emergence of basic knowledge such as disinfection, hemostasis and antibiotics, surgery was once a dying "haircut" skill. With the development of scientific concepts, gene editing and tissue engineering in the future will bring a new wave of comprehensive improvement of human health.
DK classic books show the historical process of world medicine from prehistory to 2 1 century with hundreds of illustrations, chronologies and professional explanations. From the legend of ancient civilization, grotesque instruments in medieval medicine, to the literature and photos of cells, viruses and genes in modern medicine, a pocket-sized private medical museum will be built.
