Conclusion Notes Glossary Index.ReviewsIan Miller provides an insightful and accessible guide to many of the emerging and enduring themes in the history of medicine. Medical History will be an important introduction to the field for years to come. * Martin Moore, University of Exeter, UK * In this reflexive tour de force, Miller not only provides a comprehensive overview of the most interesting topics discussed by historians of medicine over the past three decades, but also places their work in their specific historical contexts. * Hans Pols, University of Sydney, Australia * The main contribution of the book is that it focusses on the discipline of medical history as a whole and explores some of its key themes, such as disease, patients, global health, diet, and ethics. This will allow the book to become an invaluable resource for postgraduate and undergraduate teaching as well as research. * Pratik Chakrabarti, University of Manchester, UK * Author InformationIan Miller is Lecturer in History at Ulster University, UK Tab Content 6Author Website:Countries AvailableAll regions |
