Krátky popis
This achingly jawdropping book follows the evolution of dentistry
throughout the world from the Bronze Age to the present day,
presenting captivating and grim illustrations of the tools and
techniques of dentistry through the ages. Organized
chronologically, The Smile Stealers interleaves beautiful and
gruesome technical illustrations and paintings from the Wellcome
Collection’s unique archive of material from Europe, America and
the Far East with seven authoritative and eloquent themed articles
from medical historian Richard Barnett. A comprehensive review of
the development of the trade and discipline of dentistry, it covers
topics as diverse as the very first dentures (produced by the
Etruscans in the seventh century bce), the smile revolution in
18th-century portraiture, and the role of dentistry in forensic
science – all in one beautifully illustrated volume. Extending the
cult of the medically macabre begun by its predecessors The Sick
Rose and Crucial Interventions, The Smile Stealers is guaranteed to
appeal to lovers of the horrific and the beautiful alike as it
probes the growth of dentistry – from pulling out bad teeth to
reconstructing jaws, and from painful action to pain-free
interventions and the pursuit of the perfect smile.
