by Andrew Doig (Author)
De qué ha muerto la gente a lo largo de la historia? Con rigor y humor, este libro realiza un recorrido meticuloso por las causas de muerte más comunes en cada época --desde enfermedades infecciosas a genéticas, desde la violencia hasta motivos tan aparentemente inofensivos como la dieta-- y describe cómo se les ha hecho frente. Un libro de historia y de biología que revela cómo ha cambiado nuestra manera de morir a lo largo del tiempo y nuestra manera de vivir la muerte. Una obra que revela una profunda verdad: que la muerte es la mejor maestra para enseñarnos a entender la vida.
