Harvey Cushing

Description:

"Many books could be written about the different periods of his life, or about his different facets-surgeon, author, artist. But for a volume in The Life of Science Library the primary aim was to convey to the general reader, within a brief compass, some idea of Dr. Cushing's scientific contributions and his importance to this and succeeding generations" (p. ix).
