Scurvy: How a Surgeon, a Mariner, and a Gentlemen Solved the Greatest Medical Mystery of the Age of Sail by Stephen R. Bown

5.0

Super interesting book! I learned a ton about british naval history as well, but the focus was on the scientific history, which I found fascinating. And sometimes infuriating, because wow. Humans can be incredibly thick. D:
