Written by an author with plenty of experience holding a scalpel, Dr. David Schneider’s The Invention of Surgery is an in-depth biography of the practice that has leapt forward over the centuries from the dangerous guesswork of ancient Greek physicians through the world-changing developments of anesthesia and antiseptic operating rooms to the “implant revolution” of the twentieth century.The Invention of Surgery is history of surgery that explains this dramatic, world-changing progress and highlights the personalities of the discipline's most dynamic historical figures. It links together the lives of the pioneering scientists who first understood what causes disease and how surgery could powerfully intercede in people’s lives, and then shows how the rise of surgery intersected with many of the greatest medical breakthroughs of the last century. And as Schneider argues, surgery has not finished transforming; new technologies are constantly reinventing both the practice of surgery and the nature of the objects we are permanently implanting in our bodies. Schneider considers these latest developments, asking “What’s next?” and analyzing how our conception of surgery has changed alongside our evolving ideas of medicine, technology, and our bodies.

Throughout its development, from an ancient craft of magic and religion to a field of science and technology, surgery has inspired strong feelings--hope and admiration, fear and censure, but never indifference. Here, for the first time-- in The Illustrated History of Surgery--is a readable and chronological account, across the whole spectrum of world history, of the development of surgery and of the great personalities whose skill and courage paved the way for the modern surgeon. The book also includes information on the use of drugs, herbal remedies, early anaesthetics and a whole range of procedures related to surgery and its evolution. The text ranges from primitive surgery in prehistoric times to today's transplants and implants - with a glimpse into how modern surgery is likely to develop in the future. There are portraits of the great surgeons throughout the ages, detailed accounts of the milestones in the progress of the profession - the breaking of new ground and forming of solid bases from which the next generation of surgeons could advance to new and revolutionary techniques. The Illustrated History of Surgery is a beautifully presented book, with more than 200 colour illustrations gathered from around the world; it tells the story of surgery in a way that is both intelligible and enthralling.
