The Wine-Dark Sea Within: A Turbulent History of Blood

This book presents an engaging history of the human scientific understanding of blood and how it functions in the human body. It begins by exploring the notions of how we used to think of how blood flowed through the body, leading up to the groundbreaking discovery of William Harvey who proved that blood circulates. He would come to present an understanding of the circulatory system that would pave the way for more scientific understanding, experiments, treatments and procedures. The book combines over 300 years of this understanding of blood, documenting failures and advancements in our understanding of the red liquid that is essential to our life and the lives of so many organisms.
