Book Synopsis
This is a very readable and comprehensive historical account of the development of resuscitation techniques by great medical figures over the last two thousand years. Edited by well-known medical brothers Peter and Tom Baskett, the book is based on articles contributed to the journal 'Resuscitation' by 56 authors from 16 countries worldwide. The book not only records the contribution of the 'resuscitation greats' to the medical field but also describes their individual characters, intriguing relationships, multiple talents, illegal behaviour and in one case fatal encounter with the guillotine! RESUSCITATION GREATS paints the historical background to modern resuscitation techniques. It should be read with enjoyment and enlightenment by anybody who may be involved in resuscitation... and that virtually includes everybody!
