Popular Medicine in Graeco-Roman Antiquity: Explorations
ISBN: 9789004325586 / Starogrecki / Twarda / 336 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The history of healthcare in the classical world suffers from notable neglect in one crucial area. While scholars have intensively studied both the rationalistic medicine that is conveyed in the canonical texts and also the 'temple medicine' of Asclepius and other gods, they have largely neglected to study popular medicine in a systematic fashion. This volume, which for the most part is the fruit of a conference held at Columbia University in 2014, aims to help correct this imbalance. Using the full range of available evidence - archaeological, epigraphical and papyrological, as well as the...

Nursing before Nightingale, 1815-1899
ISBN: 9781138248885 / Angielski / Miękka / 242 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Nursing Before Nightingale is a study of the transformation of nursing in England from the beginning of the nineteenth century until the emergence of the Nightingale nurse as the standard model in the 1890s. From the nineteenth century on historians have considered Florence Nightingale, with her training school established at St. Thomas's Hospital in 1860, the founder of modern nursing. This book investigates two major earlier reforms in nursing: a doctor-driven reform which came to be called the 'ward system, ' and the reforms of the Anglican Sisters, known as the 'central system' of...

Alzheimer's Disease-How Its Bacterial Cause Was Found and Then Discarded

View video book trailer: https: //www.youtube.com/watch?v=T4IHhHhCCds KIRKUS REVIEWS: "The author is an internist and a medical researcher, and his double mastery of both the scientific minutiae and historical nuances of his subject matter is breathtaking. This is more than an account of a scientific debate-it's also an examination of the sometimes-unempirical way that such debate proceeds, as it's conducted by human beings with agendas of their own. Although it's a relatively short book-less than 200 pages of text-it is by no means a quick read. Nevertheless, readers with strong...

ISBN: 9783319352756 / Angielski / Miękka / 281 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Genius and dilettantism often go hand in hand. Nowhere is this truer than in the life of Charles-Edouard Brown-Sequard, the bilingual physician and neurologist who succeeded Claude Bernard as the Chair of Experimental Medicine at the College de France in Paris after having practiced in Paris, London and in the USA, especially in Harvard. For most men, making one discovery of global importance would have sufficed to satisfy their curiosity and self-image. Not so Brown-Sequard. His explanation of the neurological disparity following the hemi-section of the spinal cord was a unique... Genius and dilettantism often go hand in hand.

Lady Lushes: Gender, Alcoholism, and Medicine in Modern America
ISBN: 9780813576985 / Angielski / Twarda / 234 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. According to the popular press in the mid twentieth century, American women, in a misguided attempt to act like men in work and leisure, were drinking more. "Lady Lushes" were becoming a widespread social phenomenon. From the glamorous hard-drinking flapper of the 1920s to the disgraced and alcoholic wife and mother played by Lee Remick in the 1962 film "Days of Wine and Roses," alcohol consumption by American women has been seen as both a prerogative and as a threat to health, happiness, and the social order.

What Your Neighbors Say: Dream Book
ISBN: 9781536976106 / Angielski / Miękka / 38 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Through the 19th century and well into the 20th, quack medicine was often coupled with spirituality. No manuscript shows this on more full display, perhaps, than Doctor Pierces' Dream Book. This work combines dream interpretation with medical testimonials and recipes. A symbol of the late 19th century, the work of Pierce involving supposedly herbal remedies combined with an almost Frankenstein-esque fixation on then-modern science fuses together the old and the new in an era of consumption and superstition.
