My Hidden Self
After thirty-six years as a plastic surgeon, working finally as a Consultant in Edinburgh, John McGregor was a year into retirement when fate dealt him a cruel blow in the form of a stroke. His initial misgivings at being on the receiving end of the NHS gave way to a calm understanding of the long process towards recovery, and the hoops he would have to go through in order to walk freely, drive and enjoy playing golf again. In this memoir of a challenging year, he also acknowledges the immeasurable help he has had from physiotherapy, from friends on the mend like himself, and from his devoted wife, Moira, herself a former Staff Nurse. John C McGregor has appeared several times on TV programmes, as well as radio discussions, and has published numerous articles in medical magazines. This is his first publication in book form.
The Bioarchaeology of Individuals
From Bronze Age Thailand to Viking Iceland, from an Egyptian oasis to a family farm in Canada, The Bioarchaeology of Individuals invites readers to unearth the daily lives of people throughout history. Covering a span of more than four thousand years of human history and focusing on individuals who lived between 3200 BC and the nineteenth century, the essays in this book examine the lives of nomads, warriors, artisans, farmers, and healers. The contributors employ a wide range of tools, including traditional macroscopic skeletal analysis, bone chemistry, ancient DNA, grave contexts, and local legends, sagas, and other historical information. The collection as a whole presents a series of osteobiographies--profiles of the lives of specific individuals whose remains were excavated from archaeological sites. The result offers a more "personal" approach to mortuary archaeology; this is a book about people--not just bones.
