Medicine Across Cultures: The History and Practice of Medicine in
Non-Western Cultures consists of 19 essays dealing with the medical
knowledge and beliefs of cultures outside of the United States and
Europe. In addition to articles surveying Islamic, Chinese, Native
American, Aboriginal Australian, Indian, Egyptian, and Tibetan
medicine, the book includes essays on comparing Chinese and western
medicine and religion and medicine. The essays address the
connections between medicine and culture and relate the medical
practices to the cultures which produced them. Each essay is well
illustrated and contains an extensive bibliography. Because the
geographic range is global, the book fills a gap in both the
history of medicine and in cultural studies. It should find a place
on the bookshelves of advanced undergraduate students, graduate
students, and scholars, as well as in libraries serving those
groups.
