Popis: |
Concern for travellers' wellbeing and safety is as old as humankind. Historic documents offer insights into how a safe journey was prepared or travel ailments treated based on the prevailing knowledge of body and (dys)function.

How they were dealt with 450 years ago is uncovered in his fascinating publication. |
