Disease and Medicine in World History is a concise introduction to the diverse ideas about disease and its treatment throughout the world. Drawing on case studies from ancient Egypt to present-day America and Europe, this survey discusses concepts of sickness and forms of treatment in different cultures. Sheldon Watts shows that medical practices in the past were shaped as much by philosophers and metaphysicians as by surgeons and practitioners.
