Beschreibung

This book describes the development of Man''s thinking about the role of the liver from 350 BC to the present time. It considers both culinary and religious uses of the liver and describes the author''s contacts with distinquished scientists who have helped shape his thinking. It also discusses certain aspects of how the liver normally functions but it is not a text book of liver disease. The topics covered, including the mathematics [which can be ignored] can be followed by anyone who has studied science at senior school level.
