https://annerhanley.wordpress.com/2014/11/10/book-review-operation-ouch-medical-milestones-and-crazy-cures
Musings from a medical historian Anne Hanley. Book Review: ‘Operation Ouch! Medical Milestones and Crazy Cures’. Here is the link to my recent review of. Medical Milestones and Crazy Cures.

I hope you enjoy reading this review as much as I enjoyed writing it. Posted in Public Engagement.

James Jacob Thomson and the Ottoman Connection | Victorian Detectives
https://victoriandetectives.wordpress.com/2014/07/01/james-jacob-thomson-and-the-ottoman-connection
Detective policing and criminal justice in the Victorian capital. James Jacob Thomson and the Ottoman Connection. July 1, 2014. I’m off to Turkey tomorrow for a long-awaited vacation. Yes, I realize that no sane person heads to that part of the world in. But as it’s already 35oC with the humidex in Ontario, it’s really just a lateral move at this point. His talents were especially useful when the Home Office or police commissioners required correspondence translated; given the sensitive nature of police ...

https://annerhanley.wordpress.com/2015/08/18/down-the-rabbit-hole
