Requests:  0 Summary:  A colorful and absorbing portrait of James Parkinson -- after whom Parkinson's disease is named -- and the turbulent, intellectually vibrant world of Georgian London. Author Cherry Lewis examines Parkinson's three seemingly disparate passions: medicine, politics, and fossils. As a political radical, Parkinson was interrogated over a plot to kill King George III, putting himself in danger of being exiled. He helped Edward Jenner set up smallpox vaccination stations across London, saving countless lives. He also wrote the first scientific study of fossils in English, jump-starting a craze for fossil hunting in Britain. Parkinson was truly one of the intellectual pioneers of 'the age of wonder,' forgotten to history -- until now. -- Adapted from book jacket.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Business, Science & Technology 616.80092 Parkinson Le Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 616.80092 Parkinson Le Checked In Add Copy to MyList Waikiki-Kapahulu Public Library Adult Biography B Parkinson Le Checked In Add Copy to MyList
