Human blood has been compared historically and sociologically to a river that defines human society over the millennia. That river has been charted in a recent book and television series entitled, âBlood, an Epic History of Medicine and Commerce,â by Douglas Starr. This work traces the history of blood in medical, political and economic terms, from the earliest days of bloodletting to the era of AIDS.
Douglas Starr recommends âInstance of the Finger Post,â by Ian Beers.
