Book Description
This book highlights the life of Rudolf Virchow (1821-1902), a 19th-century Renaissance man, physician, academic, writer, biologist, scientist, anthropologist, politician, and public health advocate and leading figure in the medical, political and intellectual life of Germany. It provides details of his personal letters, his many innovations and discoveries, and his life in politics, all set in the context of his extraordinary time. What is perhaps most characteristic of Virchow is that he looked at life in the most microscopic detail (he was called the “Father of Pathology”) and simultaneously from a much larger cultural and public health perspective. A particular fascination of this book is the role Virchow played in studying morphology and race during the time of an emergent socialist movement, rising anti-Semitism, and cultural superiority in German. The book will appeal to a global readership, including physicians, scientists, anthropologists and historians and anyone interested in 19th century medical life and racial and health equality.

Rudolf Virchow: Four Lives in One
Author: Leslie Dunn
Publisher: Leslie Dunn
ISBN: 9780972699891
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 308
Book Description
This is a story of one of the most powerful spirits in history. This historical fiction is based on the true life of Rudolf Virchow, M.D. 1821-1902 whose titles in history include, "Pope of Medicine," and "Father of Pathology." Virchow's discoveries and persistent medical and political battles changed the course of medicine. Virchow's story comes alive through the letters he wrote to his parents. After graduating medical school, Virchow was sent to study an outbreak of typhus. The diseased people groveled for food, kissed the hem of his coat, their children were content in foster care for the luxuries of food and heat. Virchow turned in a report but not what his superiors expected. He laid the blame of the citizen's plight at the feet of the government, the king in particular, and the church. This pivoting event lit a fire in young Virchow that burned until his death in 1902. Though banished from Berlin by order of the king, after settling in Wurzburg Virchow continued his relentless work improving the lives of others. Virchow's research and sometimes zany teaching methods earned him a base of fans among colleagues and students. Virchow eventually achieved international fame in multiple countries. He was featured on the cover of Time Magazine. Today, hospitals bear his name as well as streets in Berlin, Virchow Archiv has continued for more than 150 years and annual scholarships bear his name. Virchow was not just a hero of his time. He is a hero of all time. "Of what good is a doctor to overworked, starving patients with a disease spread by rats?" Rudolf Virchow, M.D.
