Under the Knife: A History of Surgery in 28 Remarkable Operations by Arnold van de Laar

4.0

Van de Laar has a wry and witty style that makes Under the Knife a pleasure to read. The vignettes are short and easily digestible, but I never felt like things were being dumbed down. Van de Laar has a gift for explaining complex medical concepts that serves him well here.
