In parts a whimsical and entertaining story, in others an
informative guide by a knowledgeable and much-respected
professional in his field, this highly readable portrayal of Alan
Mills' life and adventures is told in an appealing tone, rooted in
the history of the times and places where he has practised his
craft. A son of Southern Africa, the author has enjoyed a
privileged life of good fortune. He has worked in Rhodesia (now
Zimbabwe), England, South Africa, Australia and Ireland. Pathology
has been his life. It was how he earned a living, and in retirement
has become his hobby. In his autobiography he shares the highs and
lows of his own long and interesting career in pathology, in
addition to a well-researched guide to medical history. A framework
of great medical advances is linked to Nobel Laureates, with
comments on their lives. The role of the pathologist in medical
research is stressed. The author has traced the evolution of human
beings, from earliest life forms through our ancestral 'African
Eve' in East Africa to the present day. This development is coupled
with genetic information relating to such things as oncogenes and
how they relate to cancer, and other diseases. This enlightening
book has an easy, chatty style, and is not without humour and a
little poetry.
