Sickness and health, birth and death, disease and cure: medicine
and our understanding of the workings of our bodies and minds are
an inextricable part of how we know who we are. In this inspiring
compendium, distinguished experts from around the world explain
medicine s turning points and conceptual changes, and answer a
series of key questions: How did the Plague influence the course of
human history? What should complementary medicine s role be? How
did an audacious self-experiment lead to a cure for stomach ulcers
and a Nobel Prize? The book is magnificently illustrated with a
unique array of pictures, from beautiful Renaissance anatomical
drawings to the very latest computer- generated images of viruses
and photographs that reveal the hidden world within our bodies.
Topics include humors & pneumas, Islamic medicine, pathological
anatomy, neuron theory, bedlam & beyond, parasites &
vectors, hormones, the genetic revolution, defibrillators, the
endoscope, medical robots, typhus, tuberculosis, smallpox, HIV, and
more.
