Ways of Regulating Drugs in the 19th and 20th Centuries

by Volker Hess and Jean-Paul Gaudillière

Book Overview

This collection takes the perspective that the historiography of science, technology, and medicine needs a broader approach toward regulation. The authors explore the distinct social worlds involved in regulation, the forms of evidence and expertise mobilized, and means of intervention chosen to tame drugs in factories, consulting rooms and courts.
