Produktbeschreibung
For five centuries, his work was the definitive text for every surgeon in the Western world. Yet, the name of Abu al-Qasim al-Zahrawi has been largely forgotten. Born into the intellectual zenith of 10th-century al-Andalus, al-Zahrawi served as the Royal Physician in the magnificent Caliphate of Córdoba. He inherited a medical landscape where surgery was a base craft practiced by barbers and bone-setters, deemed beneath the learned physician. He left a world where it was a systematic, rational, and ethical medical discipline. Trace the phenomenal journey of his work as it traveled from Córdoba to Toledo, becoming the mandatory textbook that revived and shaped the surgical curriculum across Europe for half a millennium. This is the story of a forgotten genius who gave surgery its identity, its methodology, and its conscience-the undisputed Architect of Modern Surgery. Approx.166 pages, 26700 word count

Born and raised in a small town on the east coast of Scotland, the author brings a unique and refreshing voice to his writing. A late-in-life diagnosis of Asperger's Syndrome illuminated his lifelong journey, giving him a deeper understanding of the distinct way he sees the world. Describing himself as an optimist on a mission to entertain and inform, he aims to take the reader's imagination to its limits and deliver a truly unforgettable experience.
