Plates. 288 pages. .Dimensions: 23.6 x 16 x 3.8 cm There is no shortage of irrational or unscientific ideas about the supposed properties of human blood. Mostly these are folk theories which neither survive practical tests nor lend themselves to fruitful application in a modern context. But they still influence our language and customs. As a result, we speak of blood brotherhood and blood-feuds; of the blood of our fathers, blood relations, blood poisoning and sang-froid; of princes of the blood who may own blood-horses, bloodhounds and bloodstones; and of people or ideas which are cold-blooded, blood-curdling, blood-thirsty, bloody-minded, sanguine, clottish or plain bloody stupid.
