Reviews

In summary, this volume provides a fascinating illustration of the diversified biomedical field in modern China, solidly anchored in both global and Chinese contexts. It also engages with serious historiographical endeavours to decentralize the West and to grapple with the tension between global modernity and local practice, which will benefit readers from a broad humanities and social sciences. -- H-Net Reviews
