The Oxford Handbook of the History of Medicine by Mark Jackson (Editor)Publication Date: 2011
The Oxford Handbook of the History of Medicine celebrates the richness and variety of medical history around the world. There are three sections: the first explores the methodological challenges and historiographical debates generated by working in particular historical ages; the second explores the history of medicine in specific regions of the world and their medical traditions, and includes discussion of the `global history of medicine'; the final section analyses, from broad chronological and geographical perspectives, both established and emerging historical themes and methodological debates in the history of medicine.
