A riveting account of the first blood transfusion experiments in 17th century Paris and London. Taking us from the highest ranks of society to the lowest, from dissection rooms in palaces to the filth-clogged streets of Paris, Blood Work sheds light on an era that wrestled with the same questions about morality and experimentation that haunt medical science to this day. ***Scientific American Book of the Month.
