The History of Medicine
ISBN: 9781138017184 / Angielski / Twarda / 2015 / 1650 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The history of medicine has been a robust field of academic inquiry and popular discussion since the 1970s. The interest in it goes back much further, but it was then that it began to link up with social protest and the counter-culture movement, and with feminist politics in particular. Medicine was seen as a part of the Establishment, perceived to be anti-democratic and paternalistic. The blossoming of the social history of medicine was launched on this agenda, focusing on the historically disenfranchised: the mad, women, the disabled, unorthodox healers, social medicine, and so on. The... The history of medicine has been a robust field of academic inquiry and popular discussion since the 1970s. The interest in it goes back much furth... |

Writing History in the Age of Biomedicine
ISBN: 9780300186635 / Angielski / Twarda / 2013 / 368 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. A collection of ten essays paired with substantial prefaces, this book chronicles and contextualizes Roger Cooter's contributions to the history of medicine. Through an analysis of his own work, Cooter critically examines the politics of conceptual and methodological shifts in historiography. In particular, he examines the "double bind" of postmodernism and biological or neurological modeling that, together, threaten academic history. To counteract this trend, suggests Cooter, historians must begin actively locating themselves in the problems they consider. The essays and...

In doing so he provides the first extended treatment of the place and role of...

Phrenology in Europe and America
ISBN: 9780415236232 / Angielski / Twarda / 2001 / 3500 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. It was not long ago that phrenology was commonly dismissed with amused contempt. However, recent scholarship now views it as one of the most significant, if curious, social and intellectual manifestations of the nineteenth century. It is seen as having impinged on virtually every aspect of life, thought and belief and is regarded as having contributed instrumentally to developments in anthropology, criminology, medicine, psychiatry and education. Many eminent figures of the period are also now appreciated as having seriously occupied themselves with phrenology, from sociologists Comte and...

Companion Encyclopedia of Medicine in the Twentieth Century
ISBN: 9780415286039 / Angielski / Miękka / 2002 / 776 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. During the 20th-century, medicine has been radically transformed and powerfully transformative. In 1900 Western Medicine was important to philanthropy and public health, but it was marginal to the state, the industrial economy and the welfare of most individuals.

ISBN: 9789042005365 / Angielski / Miękka / 1999 / 286 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. After years at the margins of medical history, the relationship between war and medicine is at last beginning to move centre-stage.

During this crucial period, medicine came to occupy an important position in military life, especially during the two world wars when manpower was at a premium. Good medical provisions were vital to the conservation of manpower, protecting...
