A Cultural History of Medicine
Bloomsbury Academic
978-1-350-45164-3 (ISBN)
Individual volume editors ensure the cohesion of the whole, and to make it as easy as possible to use, chapter titles are identical across each of the volumes. This gives the choice of reading about a specific period in one volume, or following a theme across history by reading the relevant chapter in each of the six.
The six volumes cover: 1. - Antiquity (500BCE - 800 CE); 2. - Middle Ages (800 - 1450); 3. - Renaissance (1450 - 1650); 4. - Age of Enlightenment (1650 - 1800); 5. - Age of Empire (1800 - 1920); 6. - Modern Age (1920 - 2000+).
Themes (and chapter titles) are: environment; food; disease; animals; objects; experiences; the mind; authority.
The page extent for the pack is approximately 1,728 pp with c. 240 b/w illustrations. Each volume opens with notes on contributors and an introduction and concludes with notes, bibliography, and an index.
