This is the first complete edition and English translation of John
Hall's Little Book of Cures, a fascinating medical casebook
composed in Latin around 1634-5. John Hall (1575-1635) was
Shakespeare's son-in-law (Hall married Susanna Shakespeare in
1607), and based his medical practice in Stratford-upon-Avon.
Readers have never before had access to a complete English
translation of John Hall's casebook, which contains fascinating
details about his treatment of patients in and around Stratford.
Until Wells's edition, our knowledge of Hall and his practice has
had to rely only on a partial, seventeenth-century edition
(produced by James Cooke in 1657 and 1679, and re-printed with
annotation by Joan Lane as recently as 1996). Cooke's edition
significantly misrepresents Hall by abridging his manuscript (Cooke
removed Hall's conversations with his patients), by errors of
translation, and by combining Hall's work with examples from
Cooke's own medical practice. -- .
Based on the wildly popular segments broadcast during the
Vancouver Olympics, Superbodies explores how genetics and DNA, the
brain, muscles, lungs, heart and blood work together in extreme
conditions. It's an inside look that draws on Dr. Greg Wells'
research at Sick Kids Hospital and the University of Toronto and
more than fifteen years' experience working with Olympic athletes.
Superbodies is a fascinating explanation of the human body and an
easy-to-follow plan that shows how everyone can learn from the pros
to improve their health and performance. Dr. Wells explains How the
same training techniques that elite athletes follow can be even
more effective for most peopleWhat's happening inside your body
when you're exercising, and fighting illnessWhat makes elite
athletes such as pro-hockey players successful, and what you can
learn from themWhy little things can add up, and how simple choices
can make a huge difference.
Fascinating, easy-to-read and packed with full-colour
illustrations and photographs, Superbodies shows how people of all
ages and abilities can improve their own health and
performance.
