Why read it?
1 author picked The Diary of William Harvey as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
It was a great idea to make Harvey come to life by imagining what he’d have written in his diary! This is a well-researched book which gets across how much more there was to Harvey than just the circulation of the blood. His family, his work on the development of the embryo, his role as a physician to King Charles I, and his encounters with witches – a great story – as well as a convincing sense of the sort of man he was and of the times in which he lived.
From Helen's list on discovering the circulation of the blood.
