Obesity and Depression in the Enlightenment The Life and Times of George Cheyne

"[A] highly researched volume....As expected from a book by an academic historian of science, its details will be most appreciated by other academics and students interested in a close inspection of the literature and medical theories and practice of the early 18th century as expounded by Dr. George Cheyne (1671-1743)....Guerrni's book obviously represents a huge scholarly labor....One can only respect and admire such insightful scholarship....[Cheyne's] life and time are a valuable and interesting lesson to physicians who are curious about how we got here."Guerrini, Anita is the author of 'Obesity and Depression in the Enlightenment The Life and Times of George Cheyne' with ISBN 9780806131597 and ISBN 0806131594.
