What Is Medical History?

by John C. Burnham

Book Overview

The area of the history of medicine and health has expanded spectacularly in recent times. In this book John Burnham explores the reasons for this expansion, introducing medical history for those who know little of the subject. He sheds light on a field once written entirely by physicians but which now attracts not only general historians but also policymakers and healthcare workers of all kinds.
