Rosenberg, one of the world's most influential historians of medicine, presents a fascinating analysis of the current tensions in American medicine.

ISBN: 9780226727172 / Angielski / Miękka / 1995 / 308 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. In this brilliant study, Charles Rosenberg uses the celebrated trial of Charles Guiteau, who assassinated President Garfield in 1881, to explore insanity and criminal responsibility in the Gilded Age. Rosenberg masterfully reconstructs the courtroom battle waged by twenty-four expert witnesses who represented the two major schools of psychiatric thought of the generation immediately preceding Freud. Although the role of genetics in behavior was widely accepted, these psychiatrists fiercely debated whether heredity had predisposed Guiteau to assassinate Garfield. Rosenberg's account allows...

ISBN: 9780813517575 / Angielski / Miękka / 1992 / 368 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. "In some ways disease does not exist until we have agreed that it does, by perceiving, naming, and responding to it, " writes Charles E. Rosenberg in his introduction to this stimulating set of essays. Disease is both a biological event and a social phenomenon.

Many diseases discussed here--endstage renal disease, rheumatic fever, parasitic infectious diseases, coronary...

Medicine has always had its historians; but until recently it was a history written by and for practitioners.

The Cholera Years: The United States in 1832, 1849, and 1866
ISBN: 9780226726779 / Angielski / Miękka / 1987 / 276 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Cholera was the classic epidemic disease of the nineteenth century, as the plague had been for the fourteenth. Its defeat was a reflection not only of progress in medical knowledge but of enduring changes in American social thought. Rosenberg has focused his study on New York City, the most highly developed center of this new society. Carefully documented, full of descriptive detail, yet written with an urgent sense of the drama of the epidemic years, this narrative is as absorbing for general audiences as it is for the medical historian. In a new Afterword, Rosenberg discusses changes in...

The Transformation of German Academic Medicine, 1750-1820
ISBN: 9780521524575 / Angielski / Miękka / 2002 / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. By examining German university medicine between 1750 and 1820, this book presents a new interpretation of the emergence of modern medical science. It demonstrates that the development of modern medicine as a profession linking theory and practice did not emerge suddenly from the revolutionary transformation of Europe at the opening of the nineteenth century, as Foucault and others have argued. Instead, Thomas H. Broman points to cultural and institutional changes occurring during the second half of the eighteenth century that reshaped both medical theory and physicians' professional identity....
