EDITED BY RICHARD S. ATKINSON THOMAS B. BOULTON This comprehensive volume represents the edited proceedings of the Second International Symposium on The History of Anaesthesia, held by the Association of Anaesthetists of Great Britain and Ireland at the Royal College of Surgeons of England. Wide-ranging contributions from an international faculty of experts trace the early development and organization of the specialty of anaesthesia, from its origins in ancient times through the start of modern anaesthesia in the USA and its spread through Europe and the rest of the world. Included also are sections covering the history of anaesthetic agents, apparatus, and resuscitation and intensive care, together with biographies of key figures whose contributions led to advances in knowledge of the subject. Medical historians and anaesthetists will be both informed and entertained by this important book. @630 pages + index * 1989 * ISBN 0 905958 69 1 * £40.00 Available from your bookseller or, in case of difficulty, send order with payment to: Publications Department, Royal Society of Medicine Services Limited, 1 Wimpole Street, London W1M 8AE
