Book Synopsis The Practice of Reform in Health, Medicine, and Science, 1500-2000 by : Charles Webster
Book excerpt: Histories of medicine and science are histories of political and social change, as well as accounts of the transformation of particular disciplines over time. This volume considers the effect that demands for social and political reform have had on the theory and, above all, the practice of medicine and science, and on the promotion of human health, from the Renaissance and Enlightenment up to the present.
