Summary

In 'The Knife Man' Wendy Moore unveils the extraordinary world of 18th-century anatomist John Hunter, and paints a portrait of a pioneer in the then fledgling sciences of geology, biology and evolution, as well as of his efforts to take surgery out of the realms of superstition and into the domain of science.
