About This Item
(Liverpool: Liverpool University Press, 2002) 0853237670. 234 x 156 mm; laminated pictorial wrappers; pp. xi + (i) + 273, incl. index; plates. Spine a little sunned; trace of spotting to edges. Very good condition. "The Turnstone is a vivid and wide-ranging account of more than sixty years of travel, medical research and clinical practice. The author, Dr Geoffrey Dean, was born in Wales in 1918 and spent his early years in the north of England. ... The author's research has taken him to Holland, Sweden, Cyprus, Spain, Malta, and China. Besides his research findings, the book has a rich array of anecdotes and adventures, ranging from the threat of imprisonment in South Africa to a period spent as the personal physician to the multi-millionaire Governor of the Fiji Islands. The Turnstone is a fascinating and unusual story which will appeal both to doctors and general readers." .
