Book Synopsis How Our Ancestors Died by : Simon Wills
Book excerpt: What were the principal causes of death in the past? What did our ancestors think about the illnesses and the accidents that might befall them? Wills describes the common causes of death-- disease, alcoholism, childhood infections, accidents-- and reveals how life and death have changed over the centuries, how medical science has advanced so that some once-mortal illnesses are now curable while others are just as deadly now as they were then.
