American College of Physicians William S Haubrich £27.50,  978-1-930513-49-5,  288pp,  Hardback,  January 2004

Within Dr William S Haubrich's Medical Meanings: A Glossary of Word Origins, readers will find not just etymology and explanations of medical terminology, but lessons in history and popular culture. They will learn what really ailed John Merrick, a.k.a. the Elephant Man; what odd deformity plagued the House of Hapsburg; and what the connection is between fetal alcohol syndrome and Little Orphan Annie. A charming, witty and rollicking learning experience!
