ISBN: 9780520246812 / Angielski / Miękka / 230 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Like many an exclusive club, the medical profession subjects its prospective members to rigorous indoctrination: medical students are overloaded with work, deprived of sleep and normal human contact, drilled and tested and scheduled down to the last minute.

This riveting book tells the tales of a new generation of medical students--students whose varied backgrounds are far from traditional. Their stories will...

ISBN: 9780521526555 / Angielski / Miękka / 232 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Only comparatively recently have historians begun to recognize the importance and influence of Joan Baptista Van Helmont (1579 1644) in the history of medicine and chemistry.

His organic conception of the natural world, together with his belief in alchemy and astral forces, has resulted in a predominantly unsympathetic attitude among historians of science, by whom he is generally...
