This book examines the relationship of medicine to those intellectual and social changes which historians call the Renaissance. The contributors describe how the whole range of medicine, from practical therapeutics to surgery, anatomy and pharmacy, was developing. Some important questions about the nature of medicine as it was taught and practised are raised. These include the continuing vigour of Arabic and scholastic medicine, how this was reconciled with the renaissance love of all things Greek and the nature of medicine in different parts of Europe. The chapters are written by acknowledged experts in their subjects and are based on contributions read at a meeting called for the purpose in Cambridge and supported by the Wellcome Trust.

Trapped in the androgynous existence of the rat race and living a life without purpose, Kerrie experiences a dramatic turn of events which catapults her into a spiritual awakening, ultimately leading her out of the darkness and into a life full of meaning, self discovery and Mediumship. Sharing her journey provides an inSightful look into the life of this everyday medium, while her down to earth approach on the 'How to' of communicating with the Spirit world will demystify mediumship and inSpire you to unfold your very own new kind of normal.
