Tim Hall Boeken

History of Medicine: All That Matters identifies sixteen different ages of medicine, each with its own challenges, solutions, developments and remarkable stories. As well as making for a pacy and readable narrative, this innovative approach enables the reader to understand the context of medical developments without losing sight of their sheer excitement, importance and (at times) serendipity. Dr Tim Hall is both an award-winning writer and a practical medic, and he brings to the history of medicine both the writer's ability to find and tell a story, and the medic's ability to understand and explain the science. The result is the best short history of medicine written for many years. This accessible and informative book will appeal both to students and general readers, giving a fascinating introduction to the history of medicine - and what matters most about it.

Sprachen: Deutsch, Englisch, Französisch Format: 22,3 x 28,7 cm , 208 Seiten Eine atemberaubende fotografische Ode an die Alpen. Nie gesehen Perspektiven und Ausblicke Mit spannenden Infos zu den abgebildeten Regionen und Bergen. Die Berge, eines der größten Meisterwerke der Natur, haben uns Menschen mit wilder Schönheit, atemberaubenden Gipfelpanoramen, klarer Luft, grünen Almen, eisigen Bergseen und mächtigen Gletschern von jeher in ihren Bann gezogen. Einen Berg zu besteigen oder seine majestätische Pracht zu bestaunen, lässt uns innehalten, nachdenken und vielleicht sogar ein wenig gelassener werden. Der Fotograf Tim Hall fängt den kraftvollen Trost, der aus den Bergen spricht, auf wunderbare Weise ein. Die oft spektakulären Wetterbedingungen, unter denen er fotografiert, lassen seine Arbeit und die Berge vor der Kamera noch gewaltiger und überweltlicher erscheinen. In vielen seiner Landschaftsaufnahmen inspiriert von Mark Rothko und William Turner ist die Absicht, eine emotionale oder geistige Saite anzuschlagen, unübersehbar. "Mountains. Beyond the Clouds" präsentiert den gesamten Alpenkamm, darunter so berühmte Wahrzeichen wie den Mont Blanc, das Matterhorn und die Dolomiten.
