A Cultural History of Medicine in the Renaissance
ISBN: 9781472569912 / Angielski Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Since the ‘cultural turn’ of the 1980s the history of Renaissance medicine has been radically transformed, with older narratives stood on their head as concepts and categories for research have been re-thought. At the core of this change – for the period now familiarly referred to (not insignificantly) as ‘early modern’ – stands an epistemological reconsideration of the production of natural knowledge, and of power in relation to the core of medicine’s subject, the human body. Additionally, at issue are the origins of modernity itself. Building on the foundations...

ISBN: 9780197683842 / Angielski Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. A comprehensive introduction to the concept of the "intact mind" and how it affects disability policy and practice.

The sentiment itself is not new. Emerging largely out of psychoanalytic theory dating back to the end of the 19th century, the intact mind was later amplified in memoirs, where parents wrote of their...

Sanctorius Sanctorius and the Origins of Health Measurement
ISBN: 9783031301179 / Angielski Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This Open Access book offers new insights into the Venetian physician Sanctorius Sanctorius (1561–1636) and into the origins of quantification in medicine. At the turn of the seventeenth century, Sanctorius developed instruments to measure and quantify physiological change. As trivial as the quantitative assessment of health issues might seem to us today – in times of fitness trackers and smart watches – it was highly innovative at that time. With his instruments, Sanctorius introduced quantitative research into the field of physiology. Historical accounts of Sanctorius and his work...
