About this book

W. H. R. Rivers: Pioneer Anthropologist, Psychiatrist of the Ghost Road by Slobodin, Richard. paperback edition. ISBN: 9780750914901.

Just in time for the film version of Regeneration by Pat Barker, starring Jonathan Pryce. W.H.R. Rivers holds a pivotal place in the development of neurophysiology, psychiatry/psychology and anthropology -- but he is probably most widely known for his wartime association with Siegfried Sassoon and Robert Graves. In addition to describing the important First World War years, this biography examines Riverss contributions to science and his early association with Lewis Carroll, whom his father treated for a stammer. A fresh introduction and glossary have been provided along with a thought-provoking selection of Riverss writing.
